16
Like a terebinth oak I spread out my branches, and my branches were glorious and graceful.
17
Gracious favor was the leaf that I put forth like a vine, and honor and wealth were the fruit that my blossoms bore.
19
"Come to me, you who desire me, and take your fill of my produce.
20
Calling me to mind is sweeter than honey, and possessing me is better than a dripping honeycomb.
21
Those who eat of me will hunger for more, and those who drink of me will thirst for more.
22
Whoever obeys me won't be ashamed, and those who work with me won't sin."
Wisdom and the Law
23 All these things are in the covenant scroll of the Most High God, the Law that Moses commanded us, the inheritance of the congregations of Jacob.
25
God supplies Wisdom comparable to the fullness of the Pishon River, even like the Tigris River in the springtime.
26
God provides understanding as deep as the Euphrates, or like the Jordan at the time of the harvest.
