Wisdom 7:8-10

Wycliffe Bible

⁸ And I setted wisdom before realms (or kingdoms), and seats (or thrones); and I said, that riches be nought in comparison thereof, [And I put it before to realms, and seats; and riches I said nothing to be in comparison of it,]

⁹ and I comparisoned not a precious stone to it; for why all gold in comparison thereof is (but) a little gravel, and silver shall be areckoned as clay in the sight thereof. [nor I comparisoned to it a precious stone; for all gold in comparison of it (or to it) is (but) a little gravel, and as clay silver shall be esteemed in the sight of it.]

¹⁰ I loved wisdom more than health and fairness; and I purposed to have it for light, for the light thereof may not be quenched. [Over health and fairness I loved it; and I purposed for light to have it, for unquenchable is the light of it.]
