Proverbs 3:13-26 - Wisdom Brings Happiness

¹³ How blessed is the man who finds wisdom. Happy is the man who gains understanding. ¹⁴ The profit from wisdom is better than the profit from silver. Her gain is better than fine gold. ¹⁵ She (wisdom) is more precious than pearls. Nothing you desire compares with wisdom. ¹⁶ Long life is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor. ¹⁷ Her ways are pleasant ways. All her paths are peace. ¹⁸ She (wisdom) is a tree of life to those who hold her. Happy are all who keep her. ¹⁹ In wisdom Jehovah founded the earth. In understanding he established the heavens. ²⁰ By his knowledge the depths are broken up and the clouds drop down the dew. ²¹ My son, do not let them depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion! ²² They will mean life to you and adornment to your neck. ²³ You will walk in your way safely. Your foot will not stumble. ²⁴ When you lie down you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet. ²⁵ Do not be afraid of sudden fear or trouble from the wicked when it comes. ²⁶ Jehovah will be your confidence. He will keep your foot from stumbling.
