Proverbs 4:8
Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: She shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
In context
5 Get wisdom, get understanding: Forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: Love her, and she shall keep thee. 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: And with all thy getting get understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: She shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. 9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: A crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; And the years of thy life shall be many. 11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
