Proverbs 8:19

Modern King James Version

My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and what I give is better than choice silver.

See the chapter Copy

The tongue of the just is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is worth little.

For the profit from it is better than the gain from silver, and its produce more than fine gold;

For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.

Receive my instruction and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

Pure gold cannot be given in its stead, and silver be weighed as its price.

The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it; it cannot be weighed against pure gold.

I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment;

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver!
