Proverbs 3:13-18

New Century Version

¹³ Happy is the person who finds wisdom,
    the one who gets understanding.
¹⁴ Wisdom is worth more than silver;
    it brings more profit than gold.
¹⁵ Wisdom is more precious than rubies;
    nothing you could want is equal to it.
¹⁶ With her right hand wisdom offers you a long life,
    and with her left hand she gives you riches and honor.
¹⁷ Wisdom will make your life pleasant
    and will bring you peace.
¹⁸ As a tree produces fruit, wisdom gives life to those who use it,
    and everyone who uses it will be happy.
