Matthew 13:45

Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, a wholesale merchant, seeking beautiful pearls:

High things, and crystal, shall not be remembered: and the drawing out of wisdom above pearls.

Many saying, Who will cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy face, O Jehovah.

Surely in a shadow a man will go about: surely they will be disquieted in vain: he will store up, and he knew not who shall gather them.

Happy the man finding wisdom; and the man shall bring forth understanding.

Receive my instruction and not silver and knowledge above tried gold.

Riches and honor are with me; splendid riches and justice.

To laughter I said, It is mad: and to gladness, What did this?

Vanity of vanities, said the preacher; all is vanity.

We will hear the end of all the word: Fear thou God, and watch his commands: for this is all man.

Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens was made like a man sowing good seed in his field:

For what is a man profited, if he should gain the whole world, and injure his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

And they, not having heeded, departed, one truly to his own field, and one to his traffic:
