⁸ Esteem her, and she will exalt you. She will bring you to honor, when you embrace her.

³⁰ Therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever: but now Yahweh says, Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

⁵ In Gibeon Yahweh appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I shall give you.

⁶ Solomon said, You have shown to your servant David my father great loving kindness, according as he walked before you in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you; and you have kept for him this great loving kindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

⁷ Now, Yahweh my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child; I don't know how to go out or come in.

⁸ Your servant is in the midst of your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can't be numbered nor counted for multitude.

⁹ Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this your great people?

¹⁰ The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

¹¹ God said to him, Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, neither have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice;

¹² behold, I have done according to your word: behold, I have given you a wise and an understanding heart; so that there has been none like you before you, neither after you shall any arise like you.

¹³ I have also given you that which you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like you, all your days.

³⁵ The wise will inherit glory, But shame will be the promotion of fools.

⁴ The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh Is wealth, honor, and life.

³ Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
