Proverbs 3:13

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

Happy the man finding wisdom; and the man shall bring forth understanding.

See the chapter Copy

Shut up gold shall not be given for it, and silver shall not be weighed its price

High things, and crystal, shall not be remembered: and the drawing out of wisdom above pearls.

The topaz of Cush shall not compare with it; with pure gold it shall not be weighed.

Good for me the law of thy mouth above thousands of gold and silver.

The obtaining of wisdom how good above gold and the obtaining of understanding to be chosen above silver.

He separating himself will Seek according to desire; he will be irritated with every purpose.

If thou wilt seek her as silver, and dig for her as hidden treasure;

All of them straight to him understanding, and right to those finding knowledge.

And it is not beyond the sea, to say, Who shall pass over for us to the other side of the sea, and take it to us and cause us to hear it and do it?
