Proverbs 4:9 BBE

⁷  The first sign of wisdom is to get wisdom; go, give all you have to get true knowledge.

⁸  Put her in a high place, and you will be lifted up by her; she will give you honour, when you give her your love.

⁹  She will put a crown of grace on your head, giving you a head-dress of glory.

¹⁰  Give ear, O my son, and let your heart be open to my sayings; and long life will be yours.

¹¹  I have given you teaching in the way of wisdom, guiding your steps in the straight way.
