It cannot be gotten for gold, Neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
Gold and glass cannot equal it, Neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, And the profit thereof than fine gold.
Receive my instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than choice gold.
The tongue of the righteous is (as) choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.
