Cherish her, and she will exalt you;
if you embrace her, she will honor you.

“Therefore, this is the declaration of the Lord, the God of Israel:

‘Although I said
your family and your ancestral house
would walk before Me forever,
the Lord now says, “No longer!”
I will honor those who honor Me,
but those who despise Me will be disgraced.

At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream at night. God said, “Ask. What should I give you?”

The wise will inherit honor,
but He holds up fools to dishonor.

The result of humility is fear of the Lord,
along with wealth, honor, and life.

Those who are wise will shine
like the bright expanse of the heavens,
and those who lead many to righteousness,
like the stars forever and ever.
