For the profit of it is better than the profit of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
Your testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
I rejoice at your word, as one that finds great spoil.
The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver!
If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures;
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my profit than choice silver.
Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to those who see the sun.
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness does not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
