The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.

For wisdom[ is] a defence,[ and] money[ is] a defence: but the excellency of knowledge[ is, that] wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

Then said I, Wisdom[ is] better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom[ is] despised, and his words are not heard.The words of wise[ men are] heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.Wisdom[ is] better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.

Buy the truth, and sell[ it] not;[ also] wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

How much better[ is it] to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Yea doubtless, and I count all things[ but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them[ but] dung, that I may win Christ,

Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

But God said unto him,[ Thou] fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and[ men] will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.Man[ that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts[ that] perish.

The getting of treasures by a lying tongue[ is] a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all[ kind of] fruits:I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:I got[ me] servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men,[ as] musical instruments, and that of all sorts.So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

There is one[ alone], and[ there is] not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet[ is there] no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither[ saith he], For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This[ is] also vanity, yea, it[ is] a sore travail.

But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
