^13 (A)How blessed is the man who finds wisdom
And the man who gains understanding.
¹⁴ For her ^(B)profit is better than the profit of silver
And her gain better than fine gold.
¹⁵ She is ^(C)more precious than ^[a]jewels;
And nothing you desire compares with her.
^16 [b](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.
¹⁸ She is a ^(H)tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who hold her fast.

²³ For ^(A)the commandment is a lamp and the ^[a]teaching is light;
And reproofs for discipline are the way of life

³⁵ “For ^(A)he who finds me finds life
And ^(B)obtains favor from the Lord.
