Then her fetters will become for you a strong protection, and her collar a glorious robe.
30
Her yoke is a golden ornament, and her bonds are a cord of blue.
31
You will wear her like a glorious robe, and put her on like a crown of gladness.
32
If you are willing, my son, you will be taught, and if you apply yourself you will become clever.
33
If you love to listen you will gain knowledge, and if you incline your ear you will become wise.
