Proverbs 3:13-18

Good News Translation

¹³ Happy is anyone who becomes wise—who comes to have understanding. ¹⁴ There is more profit in it than there is in silver; it is worth more to you than gold. ¹⁵ Wisdom is more valuable than jewels; nothing you could want can compare with it. ¹⁶ Wisdom offers you long life, as well as wealth and honor. ¹⁷ Wisdom can make your life pleasant and lead you safely through it. ¹⁸ Those who become wise are happy; wisdom will give them life.
