¹³ And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom above folly, like the advantage of the light above the darkness.

¹¹ Wisdom `is' good with an inheritance, And an advantage `it is' to those beholding the sun.

¹² For wisdom `is' a defense, money `is' a defence, And the advantage of the knowledge of wisdom `is', She reviveth her possessors.

⁸ for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye,

²³ but if thine eye may be evil, all thy body shall be dark; if, therefore, the light that `is' in thee is darkness -- the darkness, how great!

³⁴ `The lamp of the body is the eye, when then thine eye may be simple, thy whole body also is lightened; and when it may be evil, thy body also is darkened;

³⁵ take heed, then, lest the light that `is' in thee be darkness;

¹⁸ And ye have turned back and considered, Between the righteous and the wicked, Between the servant of God and him who is not His servant.

¹ For, lo, the day hath come, burning as a furnace, And all the proud, and every wicked doer, have been stubble, And burnt them hath the day that came, Said Jehovah of Hosts, That there is not left to them root or branch,

² And risen to you, ye who fear My name, Hath the sun of righteousness -- and healing in its wings, And ye have gone forth, and have increased as calves of a stall.

⁷ Sweet also `is' the light, And good for the eyes to see the sun.

¹⁸ Better `is' wisdom than weapons of conflict, And one sinner destroyeth much good!

¹⁶ And I said, `Better `is' wisdom than might, and the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.' --

¹⁹ The wisdom giveth strength to a wise man, more than wealth the rulers who have been in a city.

¹⁶ To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!

¹⁸ And the path of the righteous `is' as a shining light, Going and brightening till the day is established,

¹⁹ The way of the wicked `is' as darkness, They have not known at what they stumble.

⁵ Get wisdom, get understanding, Do not forget, nor turn away From the sayings of my mouth.

⁶ Forsake her not, and she doth preserve thee, Love her, and she doth keep thee.

⁷ The first thing `is' wisdom -- get wisdom, And with all thy getting get understanding.

¹³⁰ The opening of Thy words enlighteneth, Instructing the simple.

¹⁰⁵ `Nun.' A lamp to my foot `is' Thy word, And a light to my path.
