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

To start being wise you must first get wisdom. No matter what it costs, get understanding.

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

Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.

Wisdom is supreme— so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get understanding.

Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.

Wisdom is supreme— so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get understanding.

Wisdom[ is] the principal thing;[ therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Wisdom is supreme– so acquire wisdom, and whatever you acquire, acquire understanding!

Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.

For wisdom is protection just as money is protection, But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom keeps its possessors alive.

So I said,“ Wisdom is better than strength.” But the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are ignored.The words of the wise heard in calm are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

Buy truth, and do not sell it, Get wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.

“ The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells everything that he has, and buys that field.“ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls,and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold everything that he had and bought it.

More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ,

From Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. Nun

For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?For what could a person give in exchange for his soul?

But God said to him,‘ You fool! This very night your soul is demanded of you; and as for all that you have prepared, who will own it now?’

Do not be afraid when a person becomes rich, When the splendor of his house is increased;For when he dies, he will take nothing with him; His wealth will not descend after him.Though while he lives he congratulates himself— And though people praise you when you do well for yourself—He will go to the generation of his fathers; They will never see the light.Mankind in its splendor, yet without understanding, Is like the animals that perish.

The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapor, the pursuit of death.

I enlarged my works: I built houses for myself, I planted vineyards for myself;I made gardens and parks for myself, and I planted in them all kinds of fruit trees;I made ponds of water for myself from which to irrigate a forest of growing trees.I bought male and female slaves, and I had slaves born at home. I also possessed flocks and herds larger than all who preceded me in Jerusalem.I also amassed for myself silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I provided for myself male and female singers, and the pleasures of the sons of mankind: many concubines.Then I became great and increased more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also stood by me.

There was a man without a dependent, having neither a son nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, his eyes were not satisfied with riches, and he never asked,“ And for whom do I labor and deprive myself of pleasure?” This too is futility, and it is an unhappy task.

but only one thing is necessary; for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
