Proverbs 3:15-18

Proverbs 3:15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
 
Now you ask who “she” is ? This is what the third chapter is talking a lot about. She is referring to wisdom that can not be compared to anything thing else you can have, no matter what you desire it holds no comparison to obtaining wisdom. It goes on tell us that it gives us longer lives and all the riches we desire with honor, which means we did not get what we have by running over people. With wisdom we can have peace just knowing that God will do what He says and we can do all things with a pleasant attitude. Again in 18 it tells us that wisdom gives us life, because it helps us not to make stupid mistakes, and we can live our lives be happy and full of joy knowing what is waiting for those that love the Lord. Even knowing that you gain all this from wisdom none of it is as great as the blessing of wisdom itself.
