16 Long life is in her right hand,in her left are riches and honor;
17 Her ways are pleasant ways,and all her paths are peace;
18 She is a tree of life to those who grasp her,and those who hold her fast are happy.
19 The Lord by wisdom founded the earth,established the heavens by understanding;
20 By his knowledge the depths are split,and the clouds drop down dew.
21 My son, do not let these slip from your sight:hold to deliberation and planning;
22 So will they be life to your soul,and an adornment for your neck.
