How much better it is to acquire wisdom than gold; to acquire understanding is more desirable than silver.

My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, my yield than choice silver.

Receive my instruction rather than silver, knowledge rather than choice gold.For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it.

She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.

For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

Man doesn’t know its price; Neither is it found in the land of the living.The deep says,‘ It isn’t in me.’ The sea says,‘ It isn’t with me.’It can’t be gotten for gold, neither will silver be weighed for its price.It can’t be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.Gold and glass can’t equal it, neither will it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.No mention will be made of coral or of crystal. Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.The topaz of Ethiopia will not equal it, nor will it be valued with pure gold.Where then does wisdom come from? Where is the place of understanding?Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the birds of the sky.Destruction and Death say,‘ We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’“ God understands its way, and he knows its place.For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole sky.He establishes the force of the wind. Yes, he measures out the waters by measure.When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder,then he saw it, and declared it. He established it, yes, and searched it out.To man he said,‘ Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.’”

So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

Therefore I love your commandments more than gold, yes, more than pure gold.

Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.
