Proverbs 3:11-20

Names of God Bible

¹¹ Do not reject the discipline of Yahweh, my son,
    and do not resent his warning,
¹² because Yahweh warns the one he loves,
    even as a father warns a son with whom he is pleased.

¹³ Blessed is the one who finds wisdom
    and the one who obtains understanding.
¹⁴ The profit gained from wisdom is greater than
    the profit gained from silver.
        Its yield is better than fine gold.
¹⁵ Wisdom is more precious than jewels,
    and all your desires cannot equal it.
¹⁶ Long life is in wisdom’s right hand.
    In wisdom’s left hand are riches and honor.
¹⁷ Wisdom’s ways are pleasant ways,
    and all its paths lead to peace.
¹⁸ Wisdom is a tree of life
    for those who take firm hold of it.
        Those who cling to it are blessed.

¹⁹ By Wisdom Yahweh laid the foundation of the earth.
    By understanding he established the heavens.
²⁰ By his knowledge the deep waters were divided,
    and the skies dropped dew.
