Proverbs 3:13-18

Thomson(i) 13 Happy the man, who hath found wisdom: and the mortal who hath seen prudence: 14 for it is better to traffick for her, than for treasures of gold and silver. 15 She is more precious than costly stones: and nothing evil can be compared to her. She is easily known by all who approach her; but no price is equal to her in value. 16 For length of days and years of life are in her right hand; and in her left, riches and glory. Out of her mouth proceedeth righteousness: and on her tongue she carrieth law and mercy. 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to all who take hold of her; and safe for them who rely on her, as on the Lord.
