Proverbs 4:5-10 American Standard Version (ASV)

5. Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;

6. Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee; Love her, and she will keep thee.

7. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.

8. Exalt her, and she will promote thee; She will bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.

9. She will give to thy head a chaplet of grace; A crown of beauty will she deliver to thee.

10. Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; And the years of thy life shall be many.
