| 5 | Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget or turn aside from the words of my mouth! | Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. | Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. | |
| 6 | Do not abandon her, and she will protect you. Love her, and she will watch over you. | Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. | Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. | |
| 7 | Wisdom is of utmost importance, therefore get wisdom, and with all your effort work to acquire understanding. | The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight. | The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. | |
| 8 | Prize her and she will exalt you. Indeed, if you embrace her, she will honor you. | Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. | Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. | |
