It cannot be bought for gold, and silver cannot be weighed as its price.
How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver.
Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.
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.
I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.
No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal; the price of wisdom is above pearls.
