¹¹ My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, neither be weary of His correction;

¹² for whom the Lord loveth, He correcteth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

⁴ Say unto wisdom, “Thou art my sister,” and call understanding thy kinswoman,

¹⁷ I love them that love me, and those that seek me early shall find me.

²¹ that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, and I will fill their treasuries.

⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
