9 aHonor the
Lord with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10 aSo your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 aMy son, do not despise the chastening of the
Lord,
Nor detest His correction;
12 For whom the
Lord loves He corrects,
aJust as a father the son
in whom he delights.
13 aHappy
is the man
who finds wisdom,
And the man
who gains understanding;
14 aFor her proceeds
are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.
