20. How exceeding harsh is she to the unlearned! And he that is without understanding will not abide in her.
21. As a mighty stone of trial shall she rest upon him; And he will not delay to cast her from him.
22. For wisdom is according to her name; and she is not manifest to many.
23. Give ear, my son, and accept my judgement, And refuse not my counsel,
24. And bring your feet into her fetters, And your neck into her chain.
25. Put your shoulder under her, and bear her, And be not grieved with her bonds.
26. Come to her with all your soul, And keep her ways with your whole power.
27. Search, and seek, and she shall be made known to you; And when you have got hold of her, let her not go.
