It cannot be bought with gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.
How much better to acquire wisdom than gold! To gain understanding is more desirable than silver.
Receive my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold.
My fruit is better than gold, pure gold, and my harvest surpasses choice silver.
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who acquires understanding,
Coral and quartz are unworthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.
I love those who love me, and those who seek me early shall find me.
