(NASB) Proverbs 4:5-9

“Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding!

Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

6 “˜Do not forsake her, and she will guard you;

Love her, and she will watch over you.

7 “˜The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom;

And with all your acquiring, get understanding.

8 “˜Prize her, and she will exalt you;

She will honor you if you embrace her,

9 “˜She will place on your head a garland of grace;

She will present you with a crown of beauty.”
