13 O the happiness of a man who hath found wisdom, And of a man who bringeth 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 Precious she is above rubies, And all thy 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 honour. 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 A tree of life she is to those laying hold on her, And whoso is retaining her is happy. 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.
