14
Learn where there is wisdom, where there is strength, where there is understanding, that you may at the same time discern where there is length of days, and life, where there is light for the eyes, and peace.
15
Who has found her place? And who has entered her storehouses?
16
Where are the princes of the nations, and those who rule over the beasts on earth;
17
those who have sport with the birds of the air, and who hoard up silver and gold, in which men trust, and there is no end to their getting;
18
those who scheme to get silver, and are anxious, whose labors are beyond measure?
