13 Happy is the one[a] who finds wisdom,
and one who obtains understanding.

and her revenue than that of gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies,
and all your desires shall not compare with her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.

and all her paths are peace.
