14. The purchasing thereof is better than the merchandise of silver, and her fruit than the chiefest and purest gold:
15. She is more precious than all riches: and all the things that are desired, are not to be compared with her.
16. Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and glory.
17. Her ways are beautiful ways, and all her paths are peaceable.
18. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold on her: and he that shall retain her is blessed.
19. The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth, hath established the heavens by prudence.
20. By his wisdom the depths have broken out, and the clouds grow thick with dew
21. My son, let not these things depart from thy eyes: keep the law and counsel:
22. And there shall be life to thy soul, and grace to thy mouth.
23. Then shalt thou walk confidently in thy way, and thy foot shall not stumble:
24. If thou sleep, thou shalt not fear: thou shalt rest, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25. Be not afraid of sudden fear, nor of the power of the wicked falling upon thee.
26. For the Lord will be at thy side, and will keep thy foot that thou be not taken.
27. Do not withhold him from doing good, who is able: if thou art able, do good thyself also.
