6 Forsake her not, and she doth preserve thee, Love her, and she doth keep thee.
7 The first thing 'is' wisdom -- get wisdom, And with all thy getting get understanding.
8 Exalt her, and she doth lift thee up, She honoureth thee, when thou dost embrace her.
9 She giveth to thy head a wreath of grace, A crown of beauty she doth give thee freely.
10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And years of life 'are' multiplied to thee.
