因为耶和华所爱的，他必责备。正如父亲责备所喜爱的儿子。
For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
因为得智慧胜过得银子，其利益强如精金。
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
比珍珠（或作红宝石）宝贵。你一切所喜爱的，都不足比较。
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
他右手有长寿。左手有富贵。
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
他与持守他的作生命树。持定他的俱各有福。
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
耶和华以智慧立地。以聪明定天。
The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
以知识使深渊裂开，使天空滴下甘露。
By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
我儿，要谨守真智慧和谋略。不可使他离开你的眼目。
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
这样，他必作你的生命，颈项的美饰。
So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
你就坦然行路，不至碰脚。
Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
