Proverbs 3:13

New International Version

Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding,

See the chapter Copy

It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.

Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.

The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be bought with pure gold.

The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.

How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!

An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.

and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,

To the discerning all of them are right; they are upright to those who have found knowledge.

Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”
