Proverbs 8:11

New King James Version

For wisdom is better than rubies, And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.

See the chapter Copy

Therefore I love Your commandments More than gold, yes, than fine gold!

More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

There is gold and a multitude of rubies, But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

The law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.

Wisdom is good with an inheritance, And profitable to those who see the sun.

Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’
