Proverbs 3:15-18
English Standard Version
15 She is more precious than (A)jewels,
and (B)nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 (C)Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are (D)riches and honor.
17 Her (E)ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is (F)a tree of life to those who (G)lay hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called blessed.
Psalm 119:127
English Standard Version
127 Therefore I (A)love your commandments
above gold, above fine gold.
Job 28:13-28
English Standard Version
13 Man does not know its worth,
and it is not found in (A)the land of the living.
14 (B)The deep says, ‘It is not in me,’
and the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
15 It (C)cannot be bought for gold,
and silver cannot be weighed as its price.
16 It cannot be valued in (D)the gold of (E)Ophir,
in precious (F)onyx or (G)sapphire.
17 Gold and glass cannot equal it,
nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
18 No mention shall be made of (H)coral or of crystal;
the price of wisdom is above (I)(J)pearls.
19 (K)The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it,
nor can it be valued in pure gold.
20 “From where, then, does wisdom come?
And where is the place of understanding?
21 It is hidden from the eyes of (L)all living
and concealed from the birds of the air.
22 (M)Abaddon and Death say,
‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’
23 (N)“God understands the way to it,
and he knows its place.
24 For he (O)looks to the ends of the earth
and sees everything under the heavens.
25 When he (P)gave to the wind its weight
and apportioned the waters by measure,
26 when he made a decree for the rain
and (Q)a way for the lightning of the thunder,
27 then he saw it and declared it;
he established it, and searched it out.
28 And he said to man,
‘Behold, (R)the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
and to (S)turn away from evil is understanding.’”
