If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her, Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.

To keep the paths of judgment, And the way of His saints He preserveth. Then understandest thou righteousness, And judgment, and uprightness -- every good path.


A tree of life she is to those laying hold on her, And whoso is retaining her is happy.
