Proverbs 8:19
My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver.
-
Proverbs 8:10-11
Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold,for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.
-
Proverbs 3:15-18
She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.

Ecclesiastes 7:12
Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it.

Matthew 16:26
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?

Job 28:13-28
No mortal comprehends its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living.The deep says,“ It is not in me”; the sea says,“ It is not with me.”It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir, with precious onyx or lapis lazuli.Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it, nor can it be had for jewels of gold.Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be bought with pure gold.Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell?It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds in the sky.Destruction and Death say,“ Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.”God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwells,for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.When he established the force of the wind and measured out the waters,when he made a decree for the rain and a path for the thunderstorm,then he looked at wisdom and appraised it; he confirmed it and tested it.And he said to the human race,“ The fear of the Lord— that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”

Luke 12:21
“ This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

Psalms 119:127
Because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold,

Proverbs 4:7
The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
