Proverbs 4:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ Extol wisdom, and she will exalt you;
    if you embrace her, she will honor you.
⁹ She will place on your head a lovely garland
    and bestow on you a crown of beauty.”
¹⁰ Listen, my son, and take my words to heart,
    and the years of your life will be multiplied.
