Proverbs 8:10

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

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

See the chapter Copy

Buy truth, and do not sell wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

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

The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth.

But Peter said: Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise, and walk.

Get wisdom, because it is better than gold: and purchase prudence, for it is more precious than silver.

As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as needy, yet enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

For my fruit is better than gold and the precious stone, and my blossoms than choice silver.

The finest gold shall not purchase it: neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it

Gold or crystal cannot equal it: neither shall any vessels of gold be changed for it.

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