Proverbs 4:6-8
The Voice

6     If you don’t forsake Lady Wisdom, she will protect you.
        Love her, and she will faithfully take care of you.
7     Gaining sound judgment is key, so first things first: go after Lady Wisdom!
        Now, whatever else you do, follow through to understanding.
8     Cherish her, and she will help you rise above the confusion of life—
        your possibilities will open up before you—
        embrace her, and she will raise you to a place of honor in return.
