Proverbs 4:8-12

ISV(i) 8 Prize her and she will exalt you. Indeed, if you embrace her, she will honor you. 9 She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will present to you a crown of beauty.” 10 Listen, my son: accept my words, and you’ll live a long, long time. 11 I have directed you in the way of wisdom, and I have led you along straight paths. 12 When you walk, your step will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble.
