And the wisdom -- whence is it found? And where is this, the place of understanding? Man hath not known its arrangement, Nor is it found in the land of the living. The deep hath said, 'It is not in me,' And the sea hath said, 'It is not with me.' read more.
Gold is not given for it, Nor is silver weighed -- its price. It is not valued with pure gold of Ophir, With precious onyx and sapphire, Not equal it do gold and crystal, Nor is its exchange a vessel of fine gold. Corals and pearl are not remembered, The acquisition of wisdom is above rubies. Not equal it doth the topaz of Cush, With pure gold it is not valued. And the wisdom -- whence doth it come? And where is this, the place of understanding? It hath been hid from the eyes of all living. And from the fowl of the heavens It hath been hidden. Destruction and death have said: 'With our ears we have heard its fame.' God hath understood its way, And He hath known its place. For He to the ends of the earth doth look, Under the whole heavens He doth see, To make for the wind a weight, And the waters He meted out in measure. In His making for the rain a limit, And a way for the brightness of the voices, Then He hath seen and declareth it, He hath prepared it, and also searched it out, And He saith to man: -- 'Lo, fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to turn from evil is understanding.'

O the happiness of a man who hath found wisdom, And of a man who bringeth forth understanding. For better is her merchandise Than the merchandise of silver, And than gold -- her increase. Precious she is above rubies, And all thy pleasures are not comparable to her. read more.
Length of days is in her right hand, In her left are wealth and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. A tree of life she is to those laying hold on her, And whoso is retaining her is happy. Jehovah by wisdom did found the earth, He prepared the heavens by understanding. By His knowledge depths have been rent, And clouds do drop dew. My son! let them not turn from thine eyes, Keep thou wisdom and thoughtfulness, And they are life to thy soul, and grace to thy neck. Then thou goest thy way confidently, And thy foot doth not stumble. If thou liest down, thou art not afraid, Yea, thou hast lain down, And sweet hath been thy sleep.

the Earth » Full of minerals
a land in which without scarcity thou dost eat bread, thou dost not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of its mountains thou dost dig brass;
Surely there is for silver a source, And a place for the gold they refine; Iron from the dust is taken, And from the firm stone brass. An end hath he set to darkness, And to all perfection he is searching, A stone of darkness and death-shade. read more.
A stream hath broken out from a sojourner, Those forgotten of the foot, They were low, from man they wandered. The earth! from it cometh forth bread, And its under-part is turned like fire.

Gold » Some things more precious than
They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.
Therefore I have loved Thy commands Above gold -- even fine gold.
For better is her merchandise Than the merchandise of silver, And than gold -- her increase.
I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than pure gold of Ophir.
Gold » Described as » Valuable
Gold is not given for it, Nor is silver weighed -- its price. It is not valued with pure gold of Ophir, With precious onyx and sapphire,
Money » Weighed
And Abraham hearkeneth unto Ephron, and Abraham weigheth to Ephron the silver which he hath spoken of in the ears of the sons of Heth, four hundred silver shekels, passing with the merchant.
And I say unto them: 'If good in your eyes, give my hire, and if not, forbear;' and they weigh out my hire -- thirty silverlings.
and it cometh to pass, when we have come in unto the lodging-place, and open our bags, that lo, each one's money is in the mouth of his bag, our money in its weight, and we bring it back in our hand;
And I buy the field, that is in Anathoth, from Hanameel, my uncle's son, and I weigh to him the money -- seventeen shekels of silver. And I write in a book, and seal, and cause witnesses to testify, and weigh the silver in balances;

Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold.
To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!
