9 Honor the LORD with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase;
10 so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 My son, don’t despise the LORD’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;
12 for whom the LORD loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
14 For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
