Proverbs

¹⁴For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. ¹⁵She is more precious than rubies: and none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her. ¹⁶Length of days is in her right had; in her left hand are riches and honour. ¹⁷Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. ¹⁸She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. ¹⁹The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens. ²⁰By his knowledge the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
