Wealth » What is better than monetary riches
Better is little with righteousness than great income with no justice.
A {reputation} [is] to be chosen {rather than} great riches; {favor is better than silver and gold}.
A good name [is] better than precious ointment, and the day of death [is better] than the day of one's birth.
Better [is] little with the fear of Yahweh than great treasure and trouble with it.
[The] little belonging to the righteous [is] better than [the] wealth of many wicked.
Better [to be] poor and walking in one's integrity than to be crooked of ways when one [is] rich.
The fear of Yahweh [is] pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of Yahweh [are] true; they are righteous altogether, more desirable than gold, even much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, even honey [in the] comb.
You have dealt well with your servant, O Yahweh, according to your word. Teach me good discernment and knowledge, for I believe your commands. Before I was afflicted, I was going astray, but now I heed your word. read more.
You [are] good and do good; teach me your statutes. [The] arrogant smear me with lies; I keep your precepts with [my] whole heart. Their heart [is] insensitive like fat; As for me, I take delight in your law. [It is] good for me that I was afflicted, so that I might learn your statutes. The law of your mouth [is] better to me than thousands of gold and silver [coins].

Take my teaching and not silver; may you choose knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than jewels, and all desires shall not compare with her. I, wisdom, live with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion. read more.
The fear of Yahweh [is] hatred of evil, pride, and arrogance and an evil way. And I hate a mouth of perversity. {Advice and sound judgment} are mine; I am understanding, {strength is mine}. By me kings reign, and rulers decree righteousness. By me rulers rule, and nobles--all judges of righteousness. I love {those who love me}, and those who seek me diligently shall find me. Fortune and glory [are] with me, enduring wealth and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, even refined gold, and my yield than choice silver.
