Your promises are sweet to me, sweeter than honey in my mouth!
I have never left the commands he has spoken; I have treasured his words more than my own.
They are worth more than gold, even the purest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even the finest honey.
By them your servant is warned. Keeping them brings great reward.
I will be content as if I had eaten the best foods. My lips will sing, and my mouth will praise you.

Wisdom will make your life pleasant and will bring you peace.
Wisdom is more precious than rubies. Nothing you could want is equal to it.
