Better Than Rubies

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

• Glory
• Life

She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

• Wisdom

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
