She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
Because thy loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
