8 The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.
8 Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will discover good.
8 Grow a wise heart - you'll do yourself a favor; keep a clear head - you'll find a good life.
8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.
8 To acquire wisdom is to love yourself; people who cherish understanding will prosper.
