    It cannot be purchased with silver.

¹⁶ How much better to get wisdom than gold,
    and good judgment than silver!

¹⁹ My gifts are better than gold, even the purest gold,
    my wages better than sterling silver!

¹³ Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,
    the one who gains understanding.
¹⁴ For wisdom is more profitable than silver,
    and her wages are better than gold.
¹⁵ Wisdom is more precious than rubies;
    nothing you desire can compare with her.

¹⁷ “I love all who love me.
    Those who search will surely find me.

¹⁸ Coral and jasper are worthless in trying to get it.
    The price of wisdom is far above rubies.
