('Fight the good fight')

Proverbs 3 v.13-19

*********

Happy are they that wisdom find

It shall direct their heart and mind

And happy who understanding

Get, they be guided in each thing

 

For the gain of it is better

Than gain of silver can confer

Its profit more than silver, gold

Is in life, its blessings be told

 

Wisdom more precious than rubies

And all things that the desire sees

Nothing to her can be compared

Nothing so well to her has fared

 

Length of days be in her right hand

As we are wise and understand

In her left hand riches, honour

Consult her, to her e'er refer

 

Her ways are ways of pleasantness

And all her paths are peace, no less

She a tree of life to who lay

Hold upon her, happy their day

 

Wisdom retain, and hold her fast

She shall give joys that ever last

The LORD by wisdom the earth laid

With understanding heavens displayed
