| 11 | My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline or be weary of his reproof, |
| 12 | for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights. |
| 13 | Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding, |
| 14 | for the gain from it is better than gain from silver and its profit better than gold. |
| 15 | She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. |
| 16 | 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. |
| 18 | She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy. |
