And one who obtains understanding.
14 For [a]her (B)profit is better than the profit of silver,
And her produce better than gold.

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.

And happy are those who hold on to her.
