⁷² The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.

¹⁰ Take my teaching, and not silver; get knowledge in place of the best gold.

¹¹ For wisdom is better than jewels, and all things which may be desired are nothing in comparison with her.

¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold, even than much shining gold; sweeter than the dropping honey.

¹⁶² I am delighted by your saying, like a man who makes discovery of great wealth.

¹²⁷ For this reason I have greater love far your teachings than for gold, even for shining gold.

⁴⁴ The kingdom of heaven is like a secret store of wealth in a field, which a man came across and put back again; and in his joy he goes and gives all he has, to get that field.

⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a trader searching for beautiful jewels.

⁴⁶ And having come across one jewel of great price, he went and gave all he had in exchange for it.

¹⁶ How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! and to get knowledge is more to be desired than silver.

¹⁹ My fruit is better than gold, even than the best gold; and my increase is more to be desired than silver.

¹⁴ For trading in it is better than trading in silver, and its profit greater than bright gold.

¹⁵ She is of more value than jewels, and nothing for which you may have a desire is fair in comparison with her.

¹¹¹ I have taken your unchanging word as an eternal heritage; for it is the joy of my heart.

¹⁴ I have taken as much delight in the way of your unchanging word, as in all wealth.
