Blessings of Obtaining Wisdom

and the one who obtains understanding.

3:14 For her benefit is more profitable than silver,

and her gain is better than gold.

3:15 She is more precious than rubies,

and none of the things you desire can compare with her.

3:16 Long life is in her right hand;

in her left hand are riches and honor.

3:17 Her ways are very pleasant,

and all her paths are peaceful.

3:18 She is like a tree of life to those who obtain her,

and everyone who grasps hold of her will be blessed.

she will bestow a beautiful crown on you.”

Wisdom Can Lengthen One’s Life

7:11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing;

just as money provides protection.

But the advantage of knowledge is this:

Wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
