9. Honor the Lord with your possessions,And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10. So your barns will be filled with plenty,And your vats will overflow with new wine.
11. My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,Nor detest His correction;
12. For whom the Lord loves He corrects,Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
13. Happy is the man who finds wisdom,And the man who gains understanding;
14. For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,And her gain than fine gold.
