Proverbs 3:15

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

She is more precious than all riches: and all the things that are desired, are not to be compared with her.

See the chapter Copy

For wisdom is better than all the most precious things: and whatsoever may be desired cannot be compared to it.

High and eminent things shall not be mentioned in comparison of it: but wisdom is drawn out of secret places.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us.

Who shall find a valiant woman? far and from the uttermost coasts is the price of her.

There is gold, and a multitude of jewels: but the lips of knowledge are a precious vessel.

Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.

Receive my instruction, and not money: choose knowledge rather than gold.

Say not: What thinkest thou is the cause that former times were better than they are now? for this manner of question is foolish.
