9
Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counselor of good things and a comfort in cares and grief.
10
For her sake I shall have esteem among the multitude and honor with the elders, though I be young.
11
I shall be found of a quick conception in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of great men.
12
When I hold my tongue, they shall bide my leisure; and when I speak, they shall give good ear unto me; if I talk much, they shall lay their hands upon their mouth.
13
Moreover, by the means of her I shall obtain immortality, and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to them that come after me.
