5 Get wisdom; get understanding.Don’t forget and don’t turn away from my words.
6 Don’t abandon her, and she will guard you.Love her, and she will protect you.
7 The beginning of wisdom:Get wisdom!Get understanding before anything else.
8 Highly esteem her, and she will exalt you.She will honor you if you embrace her.
9 She will place a graceful wreath on your head;she will give you a glorious crown."
10 Listen, my son, and take in my speech,then the years of your life will be many.
11 I teach you the path of wisdom.I lead you in straight courses.
