9
Therefore I determined to take her to live with me, knowing that she would give me good counsel and encouragement in cares and grief.
10
Because of her I shall have glory among the multitudes and honor in the presence of the elders, though I am young.
11
I shall be found keen in judgment, and in the sight of rulers I shall be admired.
12
When I am silent they will wait for me, and when I speak they will give heed; if I speak at greater length, they will put their hands on their mouths.
13
Because of her I shall have immortality, and leave an everlasting remembrance to those who come after me.
