Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who finds understanding. For the acquisition of wisdom is better than the acquisition of silver, and its profit is better than that of fine gold.
Wisdom is more precious than rubies; all the things you desire cannot compare to it. Longevity is in his right hand, and riches and honor are in his left.
Her ways are ways of pleasure, and all her paths are peace. Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace it; blessed is the man who holds on to it.
The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens. By his knowledge he divided the deeps, and made the skies drop down the dew.
My son, keep sound wisdom and discretion; do not let them depart from your sight (13-21) For the Lord is your confidence; he will keep your foot from being snared (26)
