Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold.
Gold is not given for it, Nor is silver weighed--its price.
Not equal it do gold and crystal, Nor is its exchange a vessel of fine gold.
Therefore I have loved Thy commands Above gold--even fine gold.
I do rejoice concerning Thy saying, As one finding abundant spoil.
Better to me is the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!
The tongue of the righteous is chosen silver, The heart of the wicked--as a little thing.
To get wisdom--how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!
Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a precious vessel, are lips of knowledge.
Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and instruction, and understanding,
Better is my fruit than gold, even fine gold, And mine increase than choice silver.
Wisdom is good with an inheritance, And an advantage it is to those beholding the sun.
