Proverbs 4:6-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

6. Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you;Love her, and she will keep you.

7. Wisdom is the principal thing;Therefore get wisdom.And in all your getting, get understanding.

8. Exalt her, and she will promote you;She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.

9. She will place on your head an ornament of grace;A crown of glory she will deliver to you.”

10. Hear, my son, and receive my sayings,And the years of your life will be many.

11. I have taught you in the way of wisdom;I have led you in right paths.

12. When you walk, your steps will not be hindered,And when you run, you will not stumble.
