18. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,and happy is everyone who retains her.
19. The Lord by wisdom has founded the earth;by understanding He has established the heavens;
20. by His knowledge the depths are broken up,and the clouds drop down the dew.
21. My son, let them not depart from your eyes—keep sound wisdom and discretion;
22. so they will be life to your souland grace to your neck.
