20 Wisdom is rugged terrainto the uneducated,and the faintheartedwon’t persevere with her.
21 She will be like a heavy stonethat tests them,and they won’t hesitateto throw her aside.
22 Wisdom is like her name,and she won’t be visible to many.
23 Listen, my child,and welcome my opinion.Don’t reject my advice.
24 Put your feet into her shacklesand your neck into her collar.
25 Bend your shoulder down and carry her,and don’t chafe at her bonds.
26 Come to her with your whole being,and keep to her wayswith all your strength.
