The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
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.
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

I rejoice at your word like one who finds great spoil.
My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver.
Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches.
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.
