9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops;

10 Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over.

11 But don't, dear friend, resent God's discipline; don't sulk under his loving correction.

11 My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke,

12 It's the child he loves that God corrects; a father's delight is behind all this. The Very Tree of Life

13 You're blessed when you meet Lady Wisdom, when you make friends with Madame Insight.

13 Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding,

14 She's worth far more than money in the bank; her friendship is better than a big salary.

14 for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.

15 Her value exceeds all the trappings of wealth; nothing you could wish for holds a candle to her.

15 She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.

16 With one hand she gives long life, with the other she confers recognition.

16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
