14 For [a]her (A)profit is better than the profit of silver,
And her produce better than gold.
15 She is (B)more precious than [b]jewels,
And nothing you desire compares with her.
16 [c](C)Long life is in her right hand;
In her left hand are (D)riches and honor.
17 Her (E)ways are pleasant ways,
And all her paths are (F)peace.
18 She is a (G)tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are those who hold on to her.
