My fruit is better than gold, pure gold, and my harvest surpasses choice silver.
for she is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than fine gold.
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked has little worth.
Receive my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold.
For wisdom, like money, is a shelter, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
