Proverbs 3:13-18

Modern English Version

¹³ Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
    and the man who gets understanding;
¹⁴ for her benefit is more profitable than silver,
    and her gain than fine gold.
¹⁵ She is more precious than rubies,
    and all the things you may desire are not to be compared with her.
¹⁶ Length of days is in her right hand,
    and in her left hand riches and honor.
¹⁷ Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
    and all her paths are peace.
¹⁸ She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
    and happy is everyone who retains her.
