13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
And the man that [a]getteth understanding.

And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.

In her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her:
And happy is every one that retaineth her.
