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.
12 Nothing will hold you back;you will not be overwhelmed.
13 Always remember what you have been taught,and don’t let go of it.Keep all that you have learned;it is the most important thing in life.
