12 For Adonai loves those He reproves, even as a father, the son in whom he delights.
13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom and the man who gains understanding.
14 For her trade-value is better than silver, and her yield better than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than jewels and nothing you desire compares to her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant ways, and all of her paths are shalom.
18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her, and blessed will be all who hold firmly to her.
