⁷² The law of thy mouth is better unto me Than thousands of gold and silver.

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

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

¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

¹⁶² I rejoice at thy word, As one that findeth great spoil.

¹²⁷ Therefore I love thy commandments Above gold, yea, above fine gold.

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.

¹⁶ How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.

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.

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

¹¹¹ Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; For they are the rejoicing of my heart.

¹⁴ I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, As much as in all riches.
