13 (A)How blessed is the man who finds wisdom
And the man who gains understanding.
14 For her (B)profit is better than the profit of silver
And her gain better than fine gold.
15 She is (C)more precious than [a]jewels;
And nothing you desire compares with her.
16 [b](D)Long life is in her right hand;
In her left hand are (E)riches and honor.
17 Her (F)ways are pleasant ways
And all her paths are (G)peace.
18 She is a (H)tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who hold her fast.
