And the money could have been given to the poor. They scolded her.

Mary took a pound of very precious ointment of pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus. She wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the odor of the ointment.

The reverence of Jehovah is pure. It endures forever. The decisions of Jehovah are true. They are completely fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even the drippings from a honeycomb.

You have dealt well with your servant, O Jehovah, according to your word. Teach me goodness, discernment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word. read more.
You are good and do good. Teach me your statutes. The arrogant have forged a lie against me. With all my heart I will observe your precepts. Their heart is like fat (callous and without feeling), But I delight in your law. It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn your statutes. The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

Receive my instruction and not silver. Take knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than pearls. Nothing desirable compares to it. Wisdom dwells with discretion and it finds knowledge and sound judgment. read more.
Respect for Jehovah means to hate evil. I hate: pride, and arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I understand and I am very strong. Kings reign by me, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. I love those who love me. Those who earnestly seek me will find me. Riches and honor are with me. Yes, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yes, better than fine gold. My yield is better than choice silver.
