The law out of thy mouth is better to me; than thousands of gold and silver.
I purchased thy witnessings by heritage without end; for those [or they] be the full [out] joying of mine heart.
Therefore I loved thy command-ments; more than gold and topaz.
I delighted in the way of thy witnessings; as in all riches.
I shall be glad on thy speeches; as he that findeth many spoils.
Desirable more than gold, and a stone much precious; and sweeter than honey and honeycomb.
Forsooth thy servant keepeth those [or them]; much yielding is in those dooms to be kept.
Wield thou wisdom, for it is better than gold; and get thou prudence, for it is preciouser than silver.
Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom, and that floweth with prudence.
My fruit is better than gold, and precious stone; and my seeds [or my burgeonings] be better than chosen silver.
Forsooth wisdom with riches is more profitable, and profiteth more to men seeing the sun.
