Proverbs 3:13

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding,

See the chapter Copy

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

No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal; the price of wisdom is above pearls.

The topaz of Ethiopia cannot compare with it, nor can it be valued in pure gold.

The law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

To get wisdom is better than gold; to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

He who is estranged seeks pretexts to break out against all sound judgment.

if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures;

They are all straight to him who understands and right to those who find knowledge.

Neither 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?’
