Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding.
For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, And the profit thereof than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies: And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.
Receive my instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than choice gold.
For wisdom is better than rubies; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto it.
