She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.
No mention will be made of coral or of pearls, for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.
There is gold and a multitude of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
Who can find a virtuous wife? Her worth is far above rubies.
Receive my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold,
for wisdom is better than jewels, and nothing you may desire can compare with her.
Wisdom is good as an inheritance, an advantage to those who see the sun.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us.
