27 Go looking for her, and she will reveal herself to you. Take hold of her and don't let go.
28 Then you will discover the peace of mind she offers, and she will become your joy.
29-30 The signs of slavery you wear will become signs of royal majesty. Her chains will be your protection, and you will wear her yoke like a magnificent robe.
31 You will wear Wisdom like a splendid crown.
32 My child, you can learn if you want to. You can be clever if you are determined to be.
33 If you are willing to listen, you will learn and become wise.
34 Go where the old people are; find someone who is wise, and stay with him.
