Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to the ear of the one who listens.

She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things you desire can compare with her.

What the righteous say is like the best silver, but what the wicked think is of little value.The teaching of the righteous feeds many, but fools die for lack of wisdom.

How are they to call on one they have not believed in? And how are they to believe in one they have not heard of? And how are they to hear without someone preaching to them?And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written,“ How timely is the arrival of those who proclaim the good news.”

For wisdom is better than rubies, and desirable things cannot be compared to her.

A person has joy in giving an appropriate answer, and a word at the right time– how good it is!

“ But wisdom– where can it be found? Where is the place of understanding?Mankind does not know its place; it cannot be found in the land of the living.The deep says,‘ It is not with me.’ And the sea says,‘ It is not with me.’Fine gold cannot be given in exchange for it, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.It cannot be measured out for purchase with the gold of Ophir, with precious onyx or sapphires.Neither gold nor crystal can be compared with it, nor can a vase of gold match its worth.Of coral and jasper no mention will be made; the price of wisdom is more than pearls.The topaz of Cush cannot be compared with it; it cannot be purchased with pure gold.

Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also taught knowledge to the people; he carefully evaluated and arranged many proverbs.The Teacher sought to find delightful words, and to write accurately truthful sayings.The words of the sages are like prods, and the collected sayings are like firmly fixed nails; they are given by one shepherd.

The one who is wise in heart is called discerning, and kind speech increases persuasiveness.

You must let no unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but only what is beneficial for the building up of the one in need, that it may give grace to those who hear.

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

The lips of the wise spread knowledge, but not so the heart of fools.
