Proverbs 3:12-14
New Living Translation

12 For the Lord corrects those he loves,
    just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.[a]

13 Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,
    the one who gains understanding.
14 For wisdom is more profitable than silver,
    and her wages are better than gold.
