8. Extol her, and she will exalt you;she will bring you honors if you embrace her;
9. She will put on your head a graceful diadem;a glorious crown will she bestow on you.”
10. Hear, my son, and receive my words,and the years of your life shall be many.
11. On the way of wisdom I direct you,I lead you on straight paths.
12. When you walk, your step will not be impeded,and should you run, you will not stumble.
13. Hold fast to instruction, never let it go;keep it, for it is your life.
