Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble; when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.

Do not accuse a man for no reason--when he has done you no harm.

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act.
