Thematic Bible: The preciousness of


Thematic Bible



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

It cannot be measured out for purchase with the gold of Ophir, with precious onyx or sapphires.

For wisdom is better than rubies, and desirable things cannot be compared to her.

Wisdom gives a wise person more protection than ten rulers in a city.

Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who obtains understanding. For her benefit is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than gold.
