11 My
son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline,
and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the Lord disciplines those he
loves,
as a father the son he delights in.[a]
13 Blessed are
those who find wisdom,
those who gain understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than
silver
and yields better returns than
gold.
15 She is more precious than
rubies;
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 pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who
take hold of her;
those who hold her fast will be
blessed.
19 By
wisdom the Lord laid
the earth’s foundations,
by understanding he set the heavens in
place;
20 by his knowledge the watery depths were
divided,
and the clouds let drop the dew.
