Proverbs 4:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ Hold on to wisdom, and it will take care of you.
    Love it, and it will keep you safe.
⁷ Wisdom is the most important thing; so get wisdom.
    If it costs everything you have, get understanding.
⁸ Treasure wisdom, and it will make you great;
    hold on to it, and it will bring you honor.
