4
And she shall hold him fast, and he shall not be confounded: and she shall exalt him among his neighbours.
5
And in the midst of the church she shall open his mouth, and shall fill him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, and shall clothe him with a robe of glory.
6
She shall heap upon him a treasure of joy and gladness, and shall cause him to inherit an everlasting name.
7
But foolish men shall not obtain her, and wise men shall meet her, foolish men shall not see her: for she is far from pride and deceit.
8
Lying men shall not be mindful of her: but men that speak truth shall be found with her, and shall advance, even till they come to the sight of God.
9
Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner:
10
For wisdom came forth from God: for praise shall be with the wisdom of God, and shall abound in a faithful mouth, and the sovereign Lord will give praise unto it.
11
Say not: It is through God, that she is not with me: for do not thou the things that he hateth.
12
Say not: He hath caused me to err: for he hath no need of wicked men.
13
The Lord hateth all abomination of error, and they that fear him shall not love it.
14
God made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his own counsel.
