Proverbs 16:16

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

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

Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither 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 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 wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them 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 layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
