My
son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline,
and do not resent his rebuke,
because
the Lord disciplines
those he loves,
as a father the son he delights
in.
Blessed are those who find wisdom,
those who gain understanding,
for she is more
profitable than silver
and yields better returns than
gold.
She is more precious
than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with
her.
Long life is in her
right hand;
in her left hand are riches and
honor.
Her ways are
pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of
life to those who take hold of her;
those who hold her fast will be
blessed.
By
wisdom the Lord laid
the earth’s foundations,
by understanding he set the heavens in
place;
by his knowledge the
watery depths were divided,
and the clouds let drop the dew.
