14. Wisdom is worth more than silver;it brings more profit than gold.
15. Wisdom is more precious than rubies;nothing you could want is equal to it.
16. With her right hand wisdom offers you a long life,and with her left hand she gives you riches and honor.
17. Wisdom will make your life pleasantand will bring you peace.
18. As a tree produces fruit, wisdom gives life to those who use it,and everyone who uses it will be happy.
19. The Lord made the earth, using his wisdom.He set the sky in place, using his understanding.
20. With his knowledge, he made springs flow into riversand the clouds drop rain on the earth.
21. My child, hold on to wisdom and good sense.Don’t let them out of your sight.
22. They will give you lifeand beauty like a necklace around your neck.
23. Then you will go your way in safety,and you will not get hurt.
24. When you lie down, you won’t be afraid;when you lie down, you will sleep in peace.
