Proverbs 3:18
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: And happy is every one that retaineth her.
In context
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. 19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; By understanding hath he established the heavens. 20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, And the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
