Proverbs 8:11

English Standard Version 2016

for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.

See the chapter Copy

Therefore I love your commandments above gold, above fine gold.

More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

There is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.

Wisdom is good with an inheritance, an advantage to those who see the sun.

Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’
