Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding;

for her proceeds are better than silver and her gain than fine gold.  

She is more precious than rubies

and all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. 

Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand riches and honour. 

Her ways are the ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. 

She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her and happy are all who retain her.  Proverbs 3:13-18

My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you,

so that you incline your ear to wisdom and apply your heart to understanding;

 yes, if you cry out for discernment and lift up your voice for understanding,

if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;

then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. 

 For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding;

 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;

He guards the paths of justice and preserves the way of His saints. 

Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.  Proverbs 2:1-9

I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known.  I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight.  These things I will do for them, and not forsake them.  Isaiah 42:16

Those from amony you shall build the old waste places;

you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;

and you shall be called the  Repairer of the Breech,

the Restorer of Paths to Dwell In.  Isaiah 58:12
