Proverbs 3:17
15 She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire compares with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
All her ways are pleasant, and all her paths are peaceful.
18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her, and those who lay hold of her are blessed.
19 The LORD founded the earth by wisdom and established the heavens by understanding.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
