13 O the blessedness of a man [who] has found wisdom, || And of a man [who] brings forth understanding. Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding,
14 For better [is] her merchandise || Than the merchandise of silver, || And than gold—her increase. for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold. for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
15 She [is] precious above rubies, || And all your pleasures are not comparable to her. She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Length of days [is] in her right hand, || In her left [are] wealth and honor. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, || And all her paths [are] peace. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
18 She [is] a tree of life to those laying hold on her, || And whoever is retaining her [is] blessed. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.
