Skillful and godly Wisdom is more precious than rubies; and nothing you can wish for is to be compared to her.
Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand are riches and honor.

It is better to have than gold because it can manage gold, rather than having gold without wisdom and gold will manage you.

Therefore I love Your commandments more than [resplendent] gold, yes, more than [perfectly] refined gold.
Matthew 16:26 (Amplified Bible)
