She is more precious than corals, and no treasure of yours can compare with her.
Neither coral nor crystal should be thought of; the value of wisdom surpasses pearls.
I look to you in the sanctuary to see your power and glory.
One can put on gold and abundant jewels, but wise lips are the most precious ornament.
Who can find a woman of worth? Far beyond jewels is her value.
Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold.
[For Wisdom is better than corals, and no treasures can compare with her.]
Wisdom is as good as an inheritance and profitable to those who see the sun.
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us.
