Proverbs 8:19

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver.

See the chapter Copy

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

for her income is better than silver and her revenue better than gold.

For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to the one who possesses it.

Take my instruction instead of silver and knowledge rather than choice gold,

It cannot be gotten for gold, and silver cannot be weighed out as its price.

The chrysolite of Cush cannot compare with it, nor can it be valued in pure gold.

I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,

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