But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Man does not know the price of it, nor is it found in the land of the living. The deep says, It is not in me. And the sea says, It is not with me. read more.
It cannot be gotten for gold, nor shall silver be weighed for the price of it. It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. Gold and glass cannot equal it, nor shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold. No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal. Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies. The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, nor shall it be valued with pure gold. Where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding? Since it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept closed from the birds of the heavens. Destruction and Death say, We have heard a rumor of it with our ears. God understands the way of it, and he knows the place of it. For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole heaven, to make a weight for the wind. Yea, he distributes the waters by measure. When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder, then he saw it, and declared it. He established it, yea, and searched it out. And to man he said, Behold, the fear of LORD, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding. For the gain of it is better than the gain of silver, and the profit of it than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things thou can desire are to be compared to her. read more.

a land in which thou shall eat bread without scarceness. Thou shall not lack anything in it, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou may dig copper.
Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine. Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is molten out of the stone. [Man] sets an end to darkness, and searches out to the furthest bound the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness. read more.

Gold » Some things more precious than
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold. Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, yea, above fine gold.
For the gain of it is better than the gain of silver, and the profit of it than fine gold.
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold, and my revenue than choice silver.
I will make a man more rare than fine gold, even a man than the pure gold of Ophir.
Gold » Described as » Valuable
It cannot be gotten for gold, nor shall silver be weighed for the price of it. It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
Money » Weighed
And Abraham hearkened to Ephron. And Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver that he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current [money] with the merchant.
And I said to them, If ye think good, give me my wage, and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my wage thirty [pieces] of silver.
And it came to pass, when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight. And we have brought it again in our hand.
And I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle's son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver. And I signed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
Silver » Wisdom to be esteemed more than
For the gain of it is better than the gain of silver, and the profit of it than fine gold.
Receive my instruction, and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold.
How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
