9He created her, and saw her, and numbered her, and poured her out upon all his works.
10She is with all flesh according to his gift, and he hath given her to them that love him.
11The fear of the Lord is honour, and glory, and gladness, and a crown of rejoicing.
12The fear of the Lord maketh a merry heart, and giveth joy, and gladness, and a long life.
13Whoso feareth the Lord, it shall go well with him at the last, and he shall find favour in the day of his death.

15She hath built an everlasting foundation with men, and she shall continue with their seed.
