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

Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

For wisdom is more worth than precious stones; yea, all the things that thou canst desire, are not to be compared unto it.

Or ever thou canst turn thee about, the ungodly shall be overthrown; but the house of the righteous shall stand.

The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.

The names "Proud," "Arrogant," and "Mocker" fit whoever acts with presumptuous conceit.

Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.

The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
