She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.
No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal; the price of wisdom is above pearls.
Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.
There is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips informed by knowledge are a precious jewel.
A woman of strength who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.
Take my instruction instead of silver and knowledge rather than choice gold,
for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.
Wisdom is as good as an inheritance, an advantage to those who see the sun.
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.
