Proverbs 3:11-17
-
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
-
12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
-
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
-
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
-
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
-
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
-
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
