Proverbs 3:13

King James 2000

Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.

See the chapter Copy

It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

No mention shall be made of coral, or of crystal: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.

The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

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

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

A man, having separated himself, seeks his own desire, and rages against all sound wisdom.

If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;

They are all plain to him that understands, and right to them that find knowledge.

Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
