Proverbs 8:19
My fruit is better than solid gold, and my harvest than pure silver.
-
Proverbs 8:10-11
Accept my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold.For wisdom is better than jewels, and nothing desirable can compare with it.
-
Proverbs 3:15-18
She is more precious than jewels; nothing you desire compares with her.Long life is in her right hand; in her left, riches and honor.Her ways are pleasant, and all her paths, peaceful.She is a tree of life to those who embrace her, and those who hold on to her are happy.

Ecclesiastes 7:12
because wisdom is protection as money is protection, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.

Matthew 16:26
What will it benefit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

Job 28:13-28
No man can know its value, since it cannot be found in the land of the living.The ocean depths say,“ It’s not in me,” while the sea declares,“ I don’t have it.”Gold cannot be exchanged for it, and silver cannot be weighed out for its price.Wisdom cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire.Gold and glass do not compare with it, and articles of fine gold cannot be exchanged for it.Coral and quartz are not worth mentioning. The price of wisdom is beyond pearls.Topaz from Cush cannot compare with it, and it cannot be valued in pure gold.Where then does wisdom come from, and where is understanding located?It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing and concealed from the birds of the sky.Abaddon and Death say,“ We have heard news of it with our ears.”But God understands the way to wisdom, and He knows its location.For He looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.When God fixed the weight of the wind and limited the water by measure,when He established a limit for the rain and a path for the lightning,He considered wisdom and evaluated it; He established it and examined it.He said to mankind,“ The fear of the Lord is this: wisdom. And to turn from evil is understanding.”

Luke 12:21
“ That’s how it is with the one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”
-
Psalms 119:127
Since I love Your commands more than gold, even the purest gold,
-
Proverbs 4:7
Wisdom is supreme— so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get understanding.
