the one who gains understanding.
14 For wisdom is more profitable than silver,
and her wages are better than gold.

nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 She offers you long life in her right hand,
and riches and honor in her left.

all her ways are satisfying.
18 Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
happy are those who hold her tightly.
