¹³ Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,

and the one who gets understanding,

¹⁴ for the gain from her is better than gain from silver

and her profit better than gold.

¹⁵ She is more precious than jewels,

and nothing you desire can compare with her.

¹⁶ Long life is in her right hand;

in her left hand are riches and honor.

¹⁷ Her ways are ways of pleasantness,

and all her paths are peace.

¹⁸ She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;

those who hold her fast are called blessed.

¹⁹ The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;

by understanding he established the heavens;

²⁰ by his knowledge the deeps broke open,

and the clouds drop down the dew.

²¹ My son, do not lose sight of these—

keep sound wisdom and discretion,

²² and they will be life for your soul

and adornment for your neck.

²³ Then you will walk on your way securely,

and your foot will not stumble.

²⁴ If you lie down, you will not be afraid;

when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

²⁵ Do not be afraid of sudden terror

or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes,

²⁶ for the Lord will be your confidence

and will keep your foot from being caught.
