3:12 For the Lord disciplines
just as a father
3:13 Blessed
and the one who obtains
3:14 For her
and her
3:15 She is more precious than rubies,
and none of the things
3:16 Long life
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
and everyone who grasps hold of her will be blessed.
3:19 By wisdom the Lord laid the foundation of the earth;
he established the heavens by understanding.
3:20 By his knowledge the primordial sea
and the clouds drip down dew.
3:21 My child, do not let them
safeguard sound wisdom and discretion.
3:22 So
and grace to adorn
3:23 Then you will walk on your way
and you
3:24 When
when
3:25 You will not be afraid
or when destruction overtakes
3:26 for the Lord will be
and he will guard your foot
3:27 Do not withhold good from those who need it,
when
3:28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go! Return tomorrow
and I will give it,” when
3:29 Do not plot
when
3:30 Do not accuse
if he has not treated you wrongly.
3:31 Do not envy a violent man,
and do not choose to imitate
3:32 for one who goes astray
but he reveals
3:33 The Lord’s curse
but he blesses
3:34 Although
yet
3:35 The wise inherit honor,
but he holds fools up
