¹¹ My son, despise not the ^[a]chastening of Jehovah;
Neither be weary of his reproof:
¹² For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth,
Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

⁴ Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister;
And call understanding thy ^[a]kinswoman:

¹⁷ I love them that love me;
And those that seek me ^[a]diligently shall find me.

²¹ That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance,
And that I may fill their treasuries.

⁸ Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee:
Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.
