Main passage

English Standard Version (Chapter 3)

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
