For better is her merchandise, than the merchandise of silver, yea, than gold, her increase;

For better is wisdom, than ornaments of coral, and, no delightful things, can equal her.

Better is my fruit, than gold - yea fine gold, and mine increase, than choice silver;

Better is a little, with the reverence of Yahweh, than great treasure, and disquietude therewith.

Better is an allowance of herbs, and love, there, than a fatted ox, and hatred therewith.

Better is lowliness of spirit, with the patient, than a portion of spoil, with the proud.

Better is a poor man, walking in his integrity, than one of perverse lips, and, he, a dullard.

Better is a rebuke that is open, than love carefully concealed.
