Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 4 of Proverbs. The father passes on teaching received from previous generations and presents wisdom as an inheritance that must be preserved. The repeated exhortation to acquire wisdom emphasizes that true knowledge requires perseverance. The feminine figure of wisdom functions here as a crown of grace: whoever embraces her receives not merely information, but an identity and a way of life marked by honor.

Achte sie hoch, so wird sie dich erhöhen, und wird dich zu Ehren bringen, wo du sie herzest.
Engrandécela, y ella te engrandecerá: Ella te honrará, cuando tú la hubieres abrazado.
Exalte-la, et elle t'élèvera; Elle fera ta gloire, si tu l'embrasses;
Esaltala, ed ella ti innalzerà; Ella ti glorificherà, quando tu l’avrai abbracciata.
Exalta-a, e ela te exaltará; e, abraçando-a tu, ela te honrará.
高舉智慧,她就使你升高, 擁抱智慧,她就使你尊榮。
