Proverbs 4:5-9

⁵Get wisdom, get true knowledge; keep it in memory, do not be turned away from the words of my mouth.

⁶Do not give her up, and she will keep you; give her your love, and she will make you safe.

⁷The first sign of wisdom is to get wisdom; go, give all you have to get true knowledge.

⁸Put her in a high place, and you will be lifted up by her; she will give you honour, when you give her your love.

⁹She will put a crown of grace on your head, giving you a head-dress of glory.
