4And he taught me, and said unto me: 'Let thy heart hold fast my words, keep my commandments, and live;
5Get wisdom, get understanding; forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;
6Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee; love her, and she will keep thee.
7The beginning of wisdom is: Get wisdom; yea, with all thy getting get understanding.
8Extol her, and she will exalt thee; she will bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
9She will give to thy head a chaplet of grace; a crown of glory will she bestow on thee.'
10Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
