Happy are those who find wisdom,
and those who get understanding,
for her income is better than silver,
and her revenue better than gold.
She is more precious than jewels,
and nothing you desire can
compare with her.
Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and
honour.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to those who lay
hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called
happy.
(Proverbs 3: 13-18)
