¹⁵ She is more precious than rubies: And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.

¹¹ For wisdom is better than rubies; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto it.

¹⁸ No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal: Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies.

³ Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise thee.

²⁵ Whom have I in heaven `but thee'? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.

²⁶ My flesh and my heart faileth; `But' God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.

¹⁵ There is gold, and abundance of rubies; But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

¹⁰ A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies.

⁴⁴ The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls:

⁴⁶ and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.
