Proverbs 4

5 Get wisdom, get understanding; forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth; 6 Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee; love her, and she will keep thee. 7 The beginning of wisdom is: Get wisdom; yea, with all thy getting get understanding. 8 Extol her, and she will exalt thee; she will bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
