Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.

There is gold, and there are plenty of rubies. But lips that speak knowledge are a priceless jewel.

There is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

Wise words are more valuable than much gold and many rubies.

There is gold and a multitude of jewels, but knowledgeable lips are a rare treasure.

There is gold, and an abundance of jewels; But lips of knowledge are a more precious thing.

There is gold and a multitude of rubies, But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge[ are] a precious jewel.

There is gold, and an abundance of rubies, but words of knowledge are like a precious jewel.

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

As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.

She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.

The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth.The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.

How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:“ How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”

For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it.

Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!

“ But where will wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?Man doesn’t know its price; Neither is it found in the land of the living.The deep says,‘ It isn’t in me.’ The sea says,‘ It isn’t with me.’It can’t be gotten for gold, neither will silver be weighed for its price.It can’t be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.Gold and glass can’t equal it, neither will it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.No mention will be made of coral or of crystal. Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.The topaz of Ethiopia will not equal it, nor will it be valued with pure gold.

Further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he pondered, sought out, and set in order many proverbs.The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written blamelessly, words of truth.The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are words from the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

The wise in heart shall be called prudent. Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction.

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.
