Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold;
Therefore I love Your commandments More than gold, yes, than fine gold!
The law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.
Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding.
Wisdom is good with an inheritance, And profitable to those who see the sun.
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wicked is worth little.
Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
I rejoice at Your word As one who finds great treasure.
as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, And my revenue than choice silver.
It cannot be purchased for gold, Nor can silver be weighed for its price.
Neither gold nor crystal can equal it, Nor can it be exchanged for jewelry of fine gold.
There is gold and a multitude of rubies, But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
