Blessed Is the One Who Finds Wisdom

13 lBlessed is the one who finds wisdom,
and the one who gets understanding,
14 mfor the gain from her is better than gain from silver
and her profit better than ngold.
15She is more precious than ojewels,
and pnothing you desire can compare with her.
16 qLong life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are rriches and honor.
17Her sways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
18She is ta tree of life to those who ulay hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called blessed.

7 vThe beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,
and whatever you get, get winsight.
