9. Honor the Lord with your possessionsand with the first produce of your entire harvest;
10. then your barns will be completely filled,and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11. Do not despise the Lord’s instruction, my son,and do not loathe His discipline;
12. for the Lord disciplines the one He loves,just as a father, the son he delights in.
13. Happy is a man who finds wisdom and who acquires understanding,
14. for she is more profitable than silver,and her revenue is better than gold.
15. She is more precious than jewels; nothing you desire compares with her.
