How can they call on him unless they believe in him? How can they believe in him unless they hear about him?

Wisdom is worth more than rubies. Nothing you want can compare with her.

Joy is found in giving the right answer. And how good is a word spoken at the right time!

But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding live?No human being understands how much it’s worth. It can’t be found anywhere in the world.The ocean says,“ It’s not in me.” The sea says,“ It’s not here either.”It can’t be bought with the finest gold. Its price can’t be weighed out in silver.It can’t be bought with gold from Ophir. It can’t be bought with priceless onyx or lapis lazuli.Gold or crystal can’t compare with it. It can’t be bought with jewels made of gold.Don’t bother to talk about coral and jasper. Wisdom is worth far more than rubies.A topaz from Cush can’t compare with it. It can’t be bought with the purest gold.

The Teacher was wise. He gave knowledge to people. He tried out many proverbs. He thought about them carefully. Then he wrote them down in order.He did his best to find just the right words. And what he wrote was honest and true.The sayings of those who are wise move people to take action. Their collected sayings are like nails pounded in firm and deep. These sayings are given to us by one shepherd.

Wise hearts are known for understanding what is right. Kind words make people want to learn more.

Don’t let any evil talk come out of your mouths. Say only what will help to build others up and meet their needs. Then what you say will help those who listen.

It is much better to get wisdom than gold. It is much better to choose understanding than silver.

The lips of wise people spread knowledge. But the hearts of foolish people are not honest.
