Proverbs 4:5-9

Rotherham(i) 5 Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding, Do not forget, neither decline thou from the sayings of my mouth. 6 Do not forsake her, and she will guard thee,––love her and she will keep thee. 7 The principal thing, is wisdom, acquire thou wisdom, With all thine acquisition, acquire thou understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she will set thee on high, she will bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her: 9 She will give for thy head, a wreath of beauty, A crown of adorning, will she bestow upon thee.
