6. Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you.

7. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,and whatever you get, get insight.

8. Prize her highly, and she will exalt you;she will honor you if you embrace her.

9. She will place on your head a graceful garland;she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.”

10. Hear, my son, and accept my words,that the years of your life may be many.
