the tree of life...............

13.   How blessed is the man who finds wisdom, 
and the man who gains understanding.

14.   For its profit is better than the profit of silver,

and its gain finer than fine gold.

15.  She is more precious than jewels:

And nothing you desire compares with her.

16.  Long life is in her right hand;

In her left hand are riches and honor.

17.  Her ways are pleasant ways,

And all her paths are peace.

18.  She is the tree of life to those who take hold of her,

And happy are all who hold her fast.

-Proverbs 3:13-18, The Holy Bible, The Open Bible Version
