¹⁸ Corals and pearl are not remembered, The acquisition of wisdom `is' above rubies.

¹⁵ Precious she `is' above rubies, And all thy pleasures are not comparable to her.

¹⁶ Aram `is' thy merchant, Because of the abundance of thy works, For emerald, purple, and embroidery, And fine linen, and coral, and agate, They have given out thy remnants.

⁷ Purer were her Nazarites than snow, Whiter than milk, ruddier of body than rubies, Of sapphire their form.

¹⁰ A woman of worth who doth find? Yea, far above rubies `is' her price.

²¹ And the twelve gates `are' twelve pearls, each several one of the gates was of one pearl; and the broad-place of the city `is' pure gold -- as transparent glass.

¹² lading of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyne wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and brass, and iron, and marble,

⁴ and the woman was arrayed with purple and scarlet-colour, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of her whoredom,

⁹ in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,

⁴⁵ `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a merchant, seeking goodly pearls,

⁴⁶ who having found one pearl of great price, having gone away, hath sold all, as much as he had, and bought it.

⁶ `Ye may not give that which is `holy' to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned -- may rend you.

¹¹ For better `is' wisdom than rubies, Yea, all delights are not comparable with it.
