9 Honor the Lord by giving him part of your wealth.Give him the firstfruits from all your crops.
10 Then your barns will be full.And your wine barrels will overflow with new wine.
11 My child, do not reject the Lord’s discipline.And don’t become angry when he corrects you.
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.
