13Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, (Przyp 8,34; Przyp 8,35)14for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold. (Job 28,15; Ps 19,10; Przyp 8,10; Przyp 8,19; Przyp 16,16)15She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. (Job 28,18; Przyp 8,11)16Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. (Przyp 3,2; Przyp 8,18; Przyp 22,4)17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. (Mt 11,29; Mt 11,30)18She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed. (Rdz 2,9; Rdz 3,22; Przyp 4,13; Przyp 11,30; Przyp 13,12; Przyp 15,4; Ap 2,7; Ap 22,2)19The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens; (Ps 104,5; Ps 104,24; Ps 136,5; Przyp 8,27)20by his knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew. (Rdz 7,11; Job 36,28; Job 38,8)21My son, do not lose sight of these— keep sound wisdom and discretion, (Przyp 4,21)22and they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck. (Przyp 1,9; Przyp 4,22)23Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble. (Ps 91,11; Ps 91,12; Przyp 4,12; Przyp 10,9; Przyp 28,18)24If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. (Ps 3,5; Ps 4,8; Przyp 6,22; Jer 31,26)25Do not be afraid of sudden terror or of the ruin[4] of the wicked, when it comes, (Job 5,21; 1 P 3,14)26for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught. (1 Sm 2,9)27Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,[5] when it is in your power to do it. (Ga 6,10)28Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you. (Kpł 19,13; Pwt 24,15)29Do not plan evil against your neighbor, who dwells trustingly beside you. (Sdz 18,7; Sdz 18,27; Przyp 6,14; Przyp 12,20; Przyp 14,22)30Do not contend with a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm. (Rz 12,18)31Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways, (Ps 18,48; Ps 37,1; Ps 140,1)32for the devious person is an abomination to the LORD, but the upright are in his confidence. (Job 29,4; Przyp 2,15)33The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous. (Kpł 26,14; Job 8,6; Ps 37,22; Za 5,4; Ml 2,2)34Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he gives favor.[6] (Ps 1,1; Ps 138,6; Jk 4,6; 1 P 5,5)35The wise will inherit honor, but fools get[7] disgrace.
