Proverbs 4:5-9

Living Bible

⁵ Learn to be wise,” he said, “and develop good judgment and common sense! I cannot overemphasize this point.”^{[a] 6} Cling to wisdom—she will protect you. Love her—she will guard you.

⁷ Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do! And with your wisdom, develop common sense and good judgment. ^8-9 If you exalt wisdom, she will exalt you. Hold her fast, and she will lead you to great honor; she will place a beautiful crown upon your head.
