Proverbs 16:16

Getting wisdom: {how much} better than gold! And getting understanding: it is chosen {over} silver.

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

A human being does not know its proper value, and it is not found in [the] land of the living.

Take my teaching and not silver; may you choose knowledge rather than choice gold.

Therefore I love your commands more than gold, even fine gold.

She is more precious than rubies, and all your desires shall not compare with her.

The beginning of wisdom: Get wisdom! With all [that is in] your possession, gain insight.

{For wisdom offers protection like money offers protection}. But knowledge [has] an advantage--wisdom restores life to its possessor.

For what will a person be benefited if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?

So [is] the one who stores up treasure for himself, and who is not rich toward God!"
