Proverbs 16:16

How much better is it to acquire wisdom than gold! and to acquire understanding is worth more than silver!

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

Man never knew its price; neither is it found in the land of the living.

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

Therefore I have loved thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold.

She is more precious than precious stones, and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

For knowledge is a defence, and money is a defence; but wisdom excels in that it gives life to those that have it.

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

So is he that lays up treasure for himself and is not rich in God.
