Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Summary

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

Bible References

I love


The law from Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

Happy [blessed, considered fortunate, to be admired] is the man who finds [skillful and godly] wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding and insight [learning from God’s word and life’s experiences],

“For wisdom is better than rubies;
And all desirable things cannot compare with her.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls,
To me, [though I am] the very least of all the saints (God’s people), this grace [which is undeserved] was graciously given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the good news of the incomprehensible riches of Christ [that spiritual wealth which no one can fully understand],

General references

Or what great nation has statutes and judgments so righteous (upright, just) as this whole law which I am placing before you today?

“Take my instruction rather than [seeking] silver,
And take knowledge rather than choicest gold,

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.
