8 Listen to the poor,and reply with peacefuland gentle speech.
9 Set the wronged freefrom the hand of the wrongdoer,and don’t be timidwhen you give judgment.
10 Be like a parent to orphans,and take care of their mothersas you would your own wife or husband.Do this, and you will be like a childof the Most High,and God will love youmore than your own mother does.
11 Wisdom will exalther childrenand take hold of those who seek her.
12 Whoever loves her loves life.Those who wake early for herwill be filled with gladness.
13 Those who possess her will inherit glory.The Lord blesses the placewhere they enter.
14 Those who serve her will servethe holy one;the Lord loves those who love her.
