“Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.”
Proverbs 4:8

He had said earlier:
“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom…”Proverbs 4:7
Wisdom is the principal thing, in other words, the first thing you should seek in any situation is wisdom, but wisdom isn’t just some words uttered by individuals considered to be wise, the word of God describes wisdom for us:
“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.” Proverbs 8:22-23
Bringing to mind, what we see here:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1
Wisdom is the word of God. And the first thing you should seek in any situation is the word of God; what does God think, what has God said concerning the situation- how you should respond and what to expect?
“…and with all thy getting get understanding.”
He said get understanding, but wisdom said:
“…I am understanding…” Proverbs 8:14
So go for the word and he tells us in the main verse, that do even more- exalt the word; place the word higher than all other opinions!
