Proverbs 16:16

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

My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver.

Man does not know its worth, and it is not found in the land of the living.

Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold,

Therefore I love your commandments above gold, above fine gold.

She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.

For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God."
