8If you consider being wise to be very valuable, people will think very highly of you. If you cling to wisdom like you would cling to a woman you love, many people will honor you.
9If you become wise, that will for you be like a beautiful wreath that is put {someone puts} on your head; it will be like a king's glorious crown.” That is what my father told me.
10So now I say, “My son, heed what I say. If you do that, you will live a good long life.
11I am teaching you the way to live wisely; I am showing you ow to act justly toward others.
