We will find all kinds of precious wealth,
We will fill our houses with spoil;

She is more precious than jewels;
And nothing you desire compares with her.

For on account of a harlot one is reduced to a loaf of bread,
And an adulteress hunts for the precious life.

A lazy man does not roast his prey,
But the precious possession of a man is diligence.

There is gold, and an abundance of jewels;
But the lips of knowledge are a more precious thing.

There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise,
But a foolish man swallows it up.

And by knowledge the rooms are filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.
