Proverbs 3:14 BBE

¹²  For to those who are dear to him the Lord says sharp words, and makes the son in whom he has delight undergo pain.

¹³  Happy is the man who makes discovery of wisdom, and he who gets knowledge.

¹⁴  For trading in it is better than trading in silver, and its profit greater than bright gold.

¹⁵  She is of more value than jewels, and nothing for which you may have a desire is fair in comparison with her.

¹⁶  Long life is in her right hand, and in her left are wealth and honour.
