I realized that wisdom is preferable to folly, just as light is preferable to darkness:

for I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is much preferable:

and you pay special attention to the one who wears the fine clothes, and say to him, “You sit here in this good seat,” and you tell the poor man, “You stand over there, or sit down [on the floor] by my footstool,”

Get wisdom—
how much better it is than gold!
And get understanding—
it is preferable to silver.

Look at the birds of the air; they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns: and yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye preferable to them?
