The law of thy mouth is better unto me Than thousands of gold and silver.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Therefore I love thy commandments Above gold; yea, above fine gold.
How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
I rejoice at thy word, As one that findeth great spoil.
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; And my revenue than choice silver.
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: For they are the rejoicing of my heart.
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, As much as in all riches.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: And in keeping of them there is great reward.
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding.
Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
