Wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her

Proverbs 8:1-21

To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind. You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it. 

For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech. Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power.

With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity. My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me and making their treasuries full.

Why?

Wisdom is calling the people to come to him all day, but no many people come to him. Most people are simple and foolish.

Wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing we desire can compare with her. It is true.

We have no right to judge so do not criticize others.

If we have wisdom, then we may have riches and honor. Wisdom comes from the Lord.

How?

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
