Proverbs 3:13-20

New American Standard Bible

^13 (A)Blessed is a person who finds wisdom,
And one who obtains understanding.
¹⁴ For ^[a]her ^(B)profit is better than the profit of silver,
And her produce better than gold.
¹⁵ She is ^(C)more precious than ^[b]jewels,
And nothing you desire compares with her.
^16 [c](D)Long life is in her right hand;
In her left hand are ^(E)riches and honor.
¹⁷ Her ^(F)ways are pleasant ways,
And all her paths are ^(G)peace.
¹⁸ She is a ^(H)tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are those who hold on to her.
¹⁹ The Lord founded the earth ^(I)by wisdom,
He ^(J)established the heavens by understanding.
²⁰ By His knowledge the ^(K)ocean depths were burst open,
And the ^(L)clouds drip with dew.
