Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

 Bind them (commandments) continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
