3 When I was a son with my father,tender and precious to my mother,
4 he taught me and said:“Your heart must hold on to my words.Keep my commands and live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding; don’t forget or turn away from the words of my mouth.
6 Don’t abandon wisdom, and she will watch over you;love her, and she will guard you.
7 Wisdom is supreme — so get wisdom.And whatever else you get, get understanding.
8 Cherish her, and she will exalt you;if you embrace her, she will honor you.
9 She will place a garland of grace on your head;she will give you a crown of beauty.”
