She cannot be gotten for the most fine gold, neither may the price of her be bought with any money. No wedges of gold of Ophir, no precious Onyx stones, no Sapphire may be compared unto her. No, neither gold nor Crystal, neither sweet odours nor golden plate. There is nothing so worthy, or so excellent, as once to be named unto her: for perfect wisdom goeth far beyond them all. The Topaz that cometh out of Ethiopia may in no wise be likened unto her: yea, no manner of apparel how pleasant and fair soever it be. "From where then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding? She is hid from the eyes of all men; yea, and from the fouls of the air. Destruction and death say, 'We have heard tell of her with our ears.' But God seeth her way, and knoweth her place. For he holdeth the ends of the world and looketh upon all that is under the heaven. When he weighed the winds, and measured the waters; When he set the rain in order, and gave the mighty floods a law; Then did he see her, then declared he her, prepared her and knew her. And unto man he said, 'Behold, to fear the LORD is wisdom: and to forsake evil, is understanding.'"

Well is him that findeth wisdom, and obtaineth understanding, for the getting of it is better than any merchandise of silver, and the profit of it is better than gold. Wisdom is more worth than precious stones, and all the things that thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. read more.
Upon her righthand is long life, and upon her left hand is riches and honour. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peaceable. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and blessed are they that keep her fast.

My son, let not these things depart from thine eyes, but keep my law and my counsel: So shall it be life unto thy soul, and grace unto thy mouth. Then shalt thou walk safely in thy way, and thy foot shall not stumble. If thou sleepest thou shalt not be afraid, but shall take thy rest and sleep sweetly.

The chief point of wisdom is that thou be willing to obtain wisdom, and before all thy goods to get the understanding.

Hear, my son, and receive my words, that the years of thy life may be many. I will show thee the way of wisdom, and lead thee in the right paths.
