13 Happy are those who find wisdomand those who gain understanding.
14 Her profit is better than silver,and her gain better than gold.
15 Her value exceeds pearls;all you desire can’t compare with her.
16 In her right hand is a long life;in her left are wealth and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant;all her paths are peaceful.
18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her;those who hold her tight are happy.
19 The Lord laid the foundations of the earth with wisdom,establishing the heavens with understanding.
