^13 (A)How blessed is the man who finds wisdom
And the man who obtains discernment.
¹⁴ For her ^(B)profit is better than the profit of silver
And her produce better than fine gold.
¹⁵ She is ^(C)more precious than ^[a]pearls;
And nothing you desire compares with her.
^16 (D)Length of days is in her right hand;
In her left hand are ^(E)riches and glory.
¹⁷ Her ^(F)ways are pleasant ways
And all her pathways are ^(G)peace.
¹⁸ She is a ^(H)tree of life to those who seize her,
And all those who hold her fast are blessed.

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

¹⁹ He who is steadfast in ^(A)righteousness will attain to life,
And ^(B)he who pursues evil will bring about his own death.

³⁰ The fruit of the righteous is ^(A)a tree of life,
And ^(B)he who is wise ^[a]wins souls.

^28 (A)In the path of righteousness is life,
And in its pathway there is no death.

⁴ A tongue that brings healing is a tree of life,
But perversion in it breaks the spirit.
