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.

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.She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed.

For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage 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 soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

Man does not know its worth, and it is not found in the land of the living.The deep says,‘ It is not in me,’ and the sea says,‘ It is not with me.’It cannot be bought for gold, and silver cannot be weighed as its price.It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire.Gold and glass cannot equal it, nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal; the price of wisdom is above pearls.The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it, nor can it be valued in pure gold.“ From where, then, does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?It is hidden from the eyes of all living and concealed from the birds of the air.Abaddon and Death say,‘ We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’“ God understands the way to it, and he knows its place.For he looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.When he gave to the wind its weight and apportioned 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, and searched it out.And he said to man,‘ Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”

So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

Therefore I love your commandments above gold, above fine gold.

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.
