Thematic Bible: What is better than monetary riches


Thematic Bible








Better is the poor man who walks in his integrity, than he who is perverse in [his] ways, though he be rich.

The fear of LORD is clean, enduring forever. The ordinances of LORD are true, [and] righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold. Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

Thou have dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according to thy word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I have believed in thy commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I observe thy word. read more.
Thou are good, and do good. Teach me thy statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me. With my whole heart I will keep thy precepts. Their heart is as fat as grease, but I delight in thy law. It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn thy statutes. The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.

Receive my instruction, and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling, and find out knowledge [and] discretion. read more.
The fear of LORD is to hate evil. Pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the perverse mouth, do I hate. Counsel is mine, and sound knowledge. I am understanding, I have might. By me kings reign, and rulers decree justice. By me rulers rule, and ranking men, [even] all the judges of the earth. I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently shall find me. Riches and honor are with me, durable wealth and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold, and my revenue than choice silver.
