Proverbs 3:13-18

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ Happy are those who find wisdom,
    and those who get understanding,
¹⁴ for her income is better than silver,
    and her revenue better than gold.
¹⁵ She is more precious than jewels,
    and nothing you desire can compare with her.
¹⁶ Long life is in her right hand;
    in her left hand are riches and honor.
¹⁷ Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
    and all her paths are peace.
¹⁸ She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;
    those who hold her fast are called happy.
