Proverbs 8:11


Proverbs 8:10 Proverbs 8:11 (KJV) Proverbs 8:12
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
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.
