³ 
Through [skillful and godly] wisdom a house [a life, a home, a family] is built,
And by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation],

⁷ 
Wisdom is too exalted for a [hardened, arrogant] ^[a]fool;
He does not open his mouth in the gate [where the city’s rulers sit in judgment].

¹³ 
My son, eat honey, because it is good,
And the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
¹⁴ 
Know that [skillful and godly] wisdom is [so very good] for your life and soul;
If you find wisdom, then there will be a future and a reward,
And your hope and expectation will not be cut off.
