Proverbs 8:32-36

32 “And now, aO sons, listen to me:
bblessed are those who keep my ways.
33 cHear instruction and be wise,
and do not neglect it.
34 dBlessed is the one who listens to me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting beside my doors.
35For ewhoever finds me ffinds life
and gobtains favor from the Lord,
36but he who fails to find me hinjures himself;
all who ihate me jlove death.”

Proverbs 17:16

16Why should a fool have money in his hand kto buy wisdom
when he has no sense?
