9. Therefore, I resolved to take her to me to live together, knowing that she will be a good counselor and will console my thoughts and my weariness.
10. Because of her, I have clarity in the midst of confusion, and honor among the elders in my youth;
11. and I will be found to be astute in judgment, and will be admired in the sight of the mighty, and the faces of leaders will wonder at me.
12. When I am silent, they will wait for me; when I speak, they will respect me; and when I talk for too long, they will put their hands on their mouths.
13. Thus, by means of her, I will have immortality, and I will bequeath an everlasting memorial to those who come after me.
