Gold will not buy it; neither will any amount of silver. It cannot be bought with the gold from Ophir or with precious onyx or sapphire. Neither gold nor crystal can equal its value. Nor can it be exchanged for jewelry of fine gold. Wisdom is more valuable than gems. Topaz from Ethiopia cannot equal its value. It cannot be bought for any amount of pure gold. Where does wisdom come from? Where does understanding live? It is hidden from the eyes of all the living, concealed from the birds in the air. Destruction and Death say: 'We heard a rumor about it.' God understands the way to it. He knows where it lives He can see to the ends of the earth and observe everything under heaven. When he gave the wind its force and measured the water in the sea, when he made rules for the rain and set paths for the thunderstorms, then he saw it and announced it. He confirmed it and examined it. To man he said: 'Respect for Jehovah is wisdom! To stay away from evil is understanding.'

Long life is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways. All her paths are peace. She (wisdom) is a tree of life to those who hold her.

My son, do not let them depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion! They will mean life to you and adornment to your neck. You will walk in your way safely. Your foot will not stumble. When you lie down you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.
