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

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

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

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

¹² For wisdom `is' a defense, money `is' a defence, And the advantage of the knowledge of wisdom `is', She reviveth her possessors.
