13 Blessed are those who find wisdom, and those who gain understanding.
14 For the value of it is better than the value of silver, and the gain from it is better than fine gold.
15 Wisdom is more precious than rubies: and all the things you can desire cannot to be compared to her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand, riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 Wisdom is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her: and blessed is every one who retains wisdom.
