'Precious' in the Bible
We shall find all precious substance; We shall fill our houses with spoil;
She is more precious than rubies: And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.
For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting; But the precious substance of men is to the diligent.
A bribe is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it; Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
There is gold, and abundance of rubies; But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But a foolish man swalloweth it up.
And by knowledge are the chambers filled With all precious and pleasant riches.
