If you value Wisdom and hold tightly to her, great honors will be yours.
Respect and serve the LORD! Your reward will be wealth, a long life, and honor.
In her right hand Wisdom holds a long life, and in her left hand are wealth and honor.
You will be praised if you are wise, but you will be disgraced if you are a stubborn fool.
Put your left hand under my head and embrace me with your right arm.
Everyone who has been wise will shine as bright as the sky above, and everyone who has led others to please God will shine like the stars.
I am the LORD, the God of Israel. I promised to always let your family serve me as priests, but now I tell you that I cannot do this any longer! I honor anyone who honors me, but I put a curse on anyone who hates me.
