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

¹¹ Wisdom `is' good with an inheritance, And an advantage `it is' to those beholding the sun.

¹²⁷ Therefore I have loved Thy commands Above gold -- even fine gold.

⁷² Better to me `is' the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!

¹⁰ as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

⁶ and Peter said, `Silver and gold I have none, but what I have, that I give to thee; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and be walking.'

²³ Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,

¹⁶ To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!

²⁰ The tongue of the righteous `is' chosen silver, The heart of the wicked -- as a little thing.

¹⁹ Better `is' my fruit than gold, even fine gold, And mine increase than choice silver.

¹³ O the happiness of a man `who' hath found wisdom, And of a man `who' bringeth forth understanding.

¹⁴ For better `is' her merchandise Than the merchandise of silver, And than gold -- her increase.

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

⁴ If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her,

⁵ Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.

¹⁶² I do rejoice concerning Thy saying, As one finding abundant spoil.
