¹⁴ So you shall know wisdom to be to your soul; If you have found it, then there will be a reward, Your hope will not be cut off.

¹⁸ Indeed surely there is a future hope, And your hope will not be cut off.

¹⁰ For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

²⁵ But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.

¹⁰³ How sweet are your promises to my taste, More than honey to my mouth!

¹⁶ Your words were found, and I ate them; and your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of hosts.

¹⁸ For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, If all of them are ready on your lips.

¹³ Happy is the man who finds wisdom, The man who gets understanding.

¹⁴ For her good profit is better than getting silver, And her return is better than fine gold.

¹⁵ She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.

¹⁶ Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.

¹⁷ Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.

¹⁸ She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.

²¹ Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

¹ My son, if you will receive my words, And store up my commandments within you;

² So as to turn your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;

³ Yes, if you call out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding;

⁴ If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures:

⁵ Then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, And find the knowledge of God.

¹¹¹ I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, For they are the joy of my heart.

¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.

¹¹ Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
