Proverbs 4:5-9

⁵Wield thou wisdom, wield thou prudence; forget thou not, neither bow thou away from the words of my mouth.

⁶Forsake thou not it, and it shall keep thee; love thou it, and it shall keep thee.

⁷The beginning of wisdom, wield thou wisdom; and in all thy possession, get thou prudence.

⁸Take thou it, and it shall enhance thee; thou shalt be glorified of it, when thou hast embraced it.

⁹It shall give increasings of graces to thine head; and a noble crown shall defend thee.
