Proverbs 3:13-18

English Standard Version

Blessed Is the One Who Finds Wisdom

¹³^(A)Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,
    and the one who gets understanding,
¹⁴^(B)for the gain from her is better than gain from silver
    and her profit better than ^(C)gold.
¹⁵She is more precious than ^(D)jewels,
    and ^(E)nothing you desire can compare with her.
¹⁶^(F)Long life is in her right hand;
    in her left hand are ^(G)riches and honor.
¹⁷Her ^(H)ways are ways of pleasantness,
    and all her paths are peace.
¹⁸She is ^(I)a tree of life to those who ^(J)lay hold of her;
    those who hold her fast are called blessed.
