8 H5549 Exalt H7311 her, and she shall promote H3513 you: she shall bring H3513 you to honor, H3588 when H2263 you do embrace her.

9 H5414 She shall give H7218 to your head H3880 an ornament H2580 of grace: H5850 a crown H8597 of glory H4042 shall she deliver to you.

10 H8085 Hear, H1121 O my son, H3947 and receive H561 my sayings; H8141 and the years H2416 of your life H7235 shall be many.

11 H3384 I have taught H1870 you in the way H2451 of wisdom; H1869 I have led H3476 you in right H4570 paths.

12 H3212 When you go, H6806 your steps H3334 shall not be straitened; H518 and when H7323 you run, H3782 you shall not stumble.
