¹⁹ My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; And my revenue than choice silver.

¹⁴ For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, And the profit thereof than fine gold.

¹⁰ Receive my instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than choice gold.

²⁰ The tongue of the righteous is `as' choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.

¹² For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath it.
