10 Be like a parent to orphans,
    and take care of their mothers
    as you would your own wife or husband.
    Do this, and you will be like a child
    of the Most High,
    and God will love you
    more than your own mother does.

    and take hold of those who seek her.
12 Whoever loves her loves life.
    Those who wake early for her
    will be filled with gladness.
