^13 (A)Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;
^14 (B)For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.
¹⁵ She is more precious than rubies,
And ^(C)all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.
^16 (D)Length of days is in her right hand,
In her left hand riches and honor.
^17 (E)Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
