17 aHer ways
are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths
are peace.
18 She
is aa tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy
are all who
1 retain her.
19 aThe
Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
By understanding He established the heavens;
20 By His knowledge the depths were
abroken up,
And clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes—
Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
22 So they will be life to your soul
And grace to your neck.
