Nothing you desire can compare with wisdom

Proverbs 8:1-21
Wisdom's call
Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say; I open my lisps to speak what is right.
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.
I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.
Bestowing(賜予) a rich inheritance on those who love me and making their treasuries full.
In marked contrast to the sly woman of chapter 7, slipping out at dusk to catch her man. Wisdom makes an open appeal to all as they go about their daily business. More prose will not serve to describe her. It calls for poetry to sing her praise. Wisdom her is more than a simple personification: she embodies an aspect of God's own nature. The value of her instruction is beyond any earthly fortune.
Why?
Wisdom like God those who seek may find Him.
Wisdom calls each man to listen how good he is, but many simple persons do not listen.
The value of God's instruction is beyond any earthly fortune and treasure.
How?
Listen to God's word and walk along his wisdom way.
