TRANSLATION

WELCOME STUDENTS

Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets

understanding, for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and

her profit better than gold. She is more precious than jewels, and

nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand;

in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of

pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. ...

Proverbs 3: 13-18
