and what I produce is better than choice silver.
11:22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout
is a beautiful woman who rejects discretion.
16:16 How much better it is to acquire wisdom than gold;
to acquire understanding is more desirable than silver.
17:3 The crucible is for refining silver and the furnace is for gold,
likewise the Lord tests hearts.
20:15 There is gold, and an abundance of rubies,
but words of knowledge are like a precious jewel.
22:1 A good name is to be chosen rather than great wealth,
good favor more than silver or gold.
