'Precious' in the Bible

Therefore the Lord God said:“Look, I have laid a stone in Zion,a tested stone,a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;the one who believes will be unshakable.

Hezekiah was pleased with them, and showed them his treasure house—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil—and all his armory, and everything that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing in his palace and in all his realm that Hezekiah did not show them.

Because you are precious in My sightand honored, and I love you,I will give people in exchange for youand nations instead of your life.

I will make your fortifications out of rubies,your gates out of sparkling stones,and all your walls out of precious stones.
