Proverbs 8:19

19 My fruit is better than the purest gold, ^{▼▼ The two synonyms, “than gold, than fine gold” probably form a hendiadys here to express “the very finest gold.”}
and what I produce ^{▼▼ The language of the text with “fruit” and “ingathering” is the language of the harvest – what the crops yield. So the figure is hypocatastasis, comparing what wisdom produces to such crops.} is better than choice silver.
