The law of thy mouth is better unto me\par\tab Than thousands of gold and silver.\par
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold;\par\tab Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
Therefore I love thy commandments\par\tab Above gold, yea, above fine gold.
How much better is it to get wisdom than gold!\par\tab Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
I rejoice at thy word,\par\tab As one that findeth great spoil.
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold;\par\tab And my revenue than choice silver.
Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever;\par\tab For they are the rejoicing of my heart.
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies,\par\tab As much as in all riches.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned:\par\tab In keeping them there is great reward.
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,\par\tab And the man that getteth understanding.
Wisdom is as good as an inheritance; yea, more excellent is it for them that see the sun.
