Proverbs 8:11

New Century Version

Wisdom is more precious than rubies. Nothing you could want is equal to it.

See the chapter Copy

Your promises are sweet to me, sweeter than honey in my mouth!

I love your commands more than the purest gold.

Your teachings are worth more to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

They are worth more than gold, even the purest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even the finest honey.

It is better to get wisdom than gold, and to choose understanding rather than silver!

There is gold and plenty of rubies, but only a few people speak with knowledge.

It is hard to find a good wife, because she is worth more than rubies.

Wisdom is better when it comes with money. They both help those who are alive.

It is worthless to have the whole world if they lose their souls. They could never pay enough to buy back their souls.

It is not on the other side of the sea. You do not have to ask, “Who will go across the sea and get it? Who will tell it to us so we can keep it?”
