Proverbs 3:14-20
14For 1her 2profit is better than the profit of silver, And her produce better than gold.15She is 3more precious than 4jewels, And nothing you desire compares with her.1656Long life is in her right hand; In her left hand are 7riches and honor.17Her 8ways are pleasant ways, And all her paths are 9peace.18She is a 10tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are those who hold on to her.19The Lord founded the earth 11by wisdom, He 12established the heavens by understanding.20By His knowledge the 13ocean depths were burst open, And the 14clouds drip with dew.
