Proverbs 3:14-20

14For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold.

15Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.

16She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left.

17She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying.

18Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly.

19By wisdom the Lord founded the earth; by understanding he created the heavens.

20By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth, and the dew settles beneath the night sky.
