12 The Lord corrects those he loves,just as a father corrects the child that he likes.
13 Happy is the person who finds wisdom.And happy is the person who gets understanding.
14 Wisdom is worth more than silver.It brings more profit than gold.
15 Wisdom is more precious than rubies.Nothing you want is equal to it.
16 With her right hand wisdom offers you a long life.With her left hand she gives you riches and honor.
17 Wisdom will make your life pleasant.It will bring you peace.
18 As a tree makes fruit, wisdom gives life to those who use it.Everyone who uses wisdom will be happy.
