In context

9 Honor the LORD with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thy increase:

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth.

13 Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man [that] getteth understanding.

14 For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain of it than fine gold.

15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared to her.
