Job 28:12-19

12 ^a“But where shall wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
13 Man does not know its worth,
and it is not found in ^bthe land of the living.
14 ^cThe deep says, ‘It is not in me,’
and the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
15 It ^dcannot be bought for gold,
and silver cannot be weighed as its price.
16 It cannot be valued in ^ethe gold of ^fOphir,
in precious ^gonyx or ^hsapphire.
17 Gold and glass cannot equal it,
nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
18 No mention shall be made of ⁱcoral or of crystal;
the price of wisdom is above ^j, ^kpearls.
19 ^lThe topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it,
nor can it be valued in pure gold.

Psalms 119:72

72 ^mThe law of your mouth is better to me
than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

Psalms 119:127

127 Therefore I ⁿlove your commandments
above gold, above fine gold.

Proverbs 2:2-4

2 making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
3 yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice ^ofor understanding,
4 if you seek it like ^psilver
and search for it as for ^qhidden treasures,

Proverbs 4:5-7

5 ^rGet wisdom; get ^sinsight;
do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
6 Do not forsake her, and she will keep you;
^tlove her, and she will guard you.
7 ^uThe beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,
and whatever you get, get ^vinsight.
