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.
11I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in paths of uprightness.
12When thou goest, thy step shall not be straitened; and if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
13Take fast hold of instruction, let her not go; keep her, for she is thy life.
