H3426There isH2091goldH7230, and a multitudeH6443of rubiesH8193: but the lipsH1847of knowledgeH3366are a preciousH3627jewel.
H5141As an earringH2091of goldH2481, and an ornamentH3800of fine goldH2450, so is a wiseH3198reprover[H8688] H8085upon an obedient[H8802] H241ear.
H2451For wisdomH2896is betterH6443than rubiesH2656; and all the things that may be desiredH7737are not to be compared[H8799] to it.
H5278PleasantH561wordsH6688are as an honeycombH1706 H4966, sweetH5315to the soulH4832, and healthH6106to the bones.
H2896How much betterH7069is it to get[H8800] H2451wisdomH2742than goldH7069! and to get[H8800] H998understandingH977rather to be chosen[H8737] H3701than silver!
H8193The lipsH2450of the wiseH2219disperse[H8762] H1847knowledgeH3820: but the heartH3684of the foolish doeth not so.

H7451It is naughtH7451, it is naughtH559, saith[H8799] H7069the buyer[H8802] H235: but when he is gone[H8801] H1984his way, then he boasteth[H8691] .
