Proverbs 8:19

English Standard Version 2016

My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver.

See the chapter Copy

The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; the heart of the wicked is of little worth.

for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold.

For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold,

It cannot be bought for gold, and silver cannot be weighed as its price.

The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it, nor can it be valued in pure gold.

I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of justice,

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