13 Happy the man finding wisdom; and the man shall bring 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 good her gain above the gain of silver, and her increase above gold. 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 red corals: and all thy delights shall not be equal with 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 in her right hand; in her left, riches 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 the ways of pleasantness, and all her beaten paths, 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 all holding upon her: and happy he holding her fast. 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.
