Proverbs 16:16

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.

My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold, and my revenue than choice silver.

Man does not know the price of it, nor is it found in the land of the living.

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

Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold.

She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things thou can desire are to be compared to her.

Wisdom [is] the principal thing. Get wisdom, yea, with all thy getting get understanding.

For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense. But the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

For what does it profit a men, if he should gain the whole world, and lose his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

So is he who stores up for himself, and is not being rich toward God.
