Proverbs 3:13-18
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise thereof is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof is better than gold.
15 It is more precious than pearls: and all things that thou canst desire, are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand, [a]and in her right hand riches and glory.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasure, and all her paths prosperity.
18 She is a tree [b]of life to them that lay hold on her, and blessed is he that retaineth her.
