Proverbs 8:19

New King James Version

My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, And my revenue than choice silver.

See the chapter Copy

The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wicked is worth little.

For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold.

For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.

Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold;

It cannot be purchased for gold, Nor can silver be weighed for its price.

The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it, Nor can it be valued in pure gold.

I traverse the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice,

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