5 Get wisdom and understanding.Don’t forget or ignore my words.
6 Hold on to wisdom, and it will take care of you.Love it, and it will keep you safe.
7 Wisdom is the most important thing; so get wisdom.If it costs everything you have, get understanding.
8 Treasure wisdom, and it will make you great;hold on to it, and it will bring you honor.
9 It will be like flowers in your hairand like a beautiful crown on your head.”
10 My child, listen and accept what I say.Then you will have a long life.
11 I am guiding you in the way of wisdom,and I am leading you on the right path.
