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.
12 When you walk, you won’t be hindered;when you run, you won’t stumble.
13 Hold on to instruction; don’t slack off;protect it, for it is your life.
14 Don’t go on the way of the wicked;don’t walk on the path of evil people.
