Wisdomalongwith an inheritanceis goodAnd an advantageto those who seethe sun.
"But wherecan wisdombe found?And whereis the placeof understanding?
The lawof Your mouthis betterto me Thanthousandsof goldand silver[pieces]. Yodh.
The crownof the wiseis their riches,[But] the follyof foolsis foolishness.
For her profitis betterthanthe profitof silverAnd her gainbetter thanfine gold.
She is morepreciousthanjewels;And nothingyou desirecompareswith her.
The lightis pleasant,and [it is] goodfor the eyesto seethe sun.
And I sawthat wisdomexcelsfollyas lightexcelsdarkness.
Do not say,"Whyis it that the formerdayswere betterthanthese?"For it is not from wisdomthat you askaboutthis.
