'Precious' in the Bible

Every precious substance we find, We fill our houses with spoil,

Precious she is above rubies, And all thy pleasures are not comparable to her.

For a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an adulteress the precious soul hunteth.

The slothful roasteth not his hunting, And the wealth of a diligent man is precious.

Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a precious vessel, are lips of knowledge.

And by knowledge the inner parts are filled, With all precious and pleasant wealth.
