Proverbs 3:15-18
She is more precious than rubies: And all the things thou const desire are not to be compared unto her. Length o f days is in her right hand honour; and in her left hand riches cmd Her ways are ways o f pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree o f life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
