³ A house is built by wisdom
    and becomes strong through good sense.

⁷ Wisdom is too lofty for fools.
    Among leaders at the city gate, they have nothing to say.

¹³ My child,^[a] eat honey, for it is good,
    and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste.
¹⁴ In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul.
    If you find it, you will have a bright future,
    and your hopes will not be cut short.
