12. For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights.

14. For the gain from it is better than the gain from silver, and the profit thereof than fine gold.
15. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things you can desire are not to be compared unto her.
16. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor.
17. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is everyone that retains her.
