8 It shall be medicine to thy navel and marrow to thy bones.
9 Honour the Lord with thy substance and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For the Lord chastens whom he loves and delights in, even as a father to his son.
13 Blessed is the man that has found wisdom and who brings to light intelligence,
14 for the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver and the fruits thereof more than fine gold.
