8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee:she shall bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.
9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace:a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings;and the years of thy life shall be many.
11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom;I have led thee in right paths.
12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened;and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
13 Take fast hold of instruction;let her not go:keep her; for she is thy life.
14 Enter not into the path of the wicked,and go not in the way of evil men.
