My fruit is good above gold, and above pure gold; and my gain above tried silver.
Shut up gold shall not be given for it, and silver shall not be weighed its price
The topaz of Cush shall not compare with it; with pure gold it shall not be weighed.
The tongue of the just is choice silver: the heart of the unjust is as little.
The obtaining of wisdom how good above gold and the obtaining of understanding to be chosen above silver.
For good her gain above the gain of silver, and her increase above gold.
Receive my instruction and not silver and knowledge above tried gold.
I shall go in the way of justice, in the midst of the beaten paths of judgment:
For in the shadow, wisdom; in the shadow, silver: and the excellence of knowledge is wisdom shall preserve alive those possessing it
