Proverbs 16:16 KJV
How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver.
In today's world we can say money instead of gold because it is our means of exchange in this century.
Wisdom is spiritual which means, it cannot be seen with our physical eyes. On the other hand, gold or money is physical, it can be seen and touched.
Why is wisdom compared with gold?
"There are both means to achievement or success in life. Wisdom can produce money if applied well".
Proverbs 9:12
If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit. If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.
Proverbs 13:20
Whoever walks with the wise will become wise; whoever walks with fools will suffer harm.
Proverbs 19:20
Get all the advice and instruction you can, and be wise the rest of your life.
Proverbs 3:13 KJV
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
Proverbs 8:10-11, 17-19
10,"Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge over pure gold.
11, For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can be compared with it.
17, "I love all who love me. Those who search for me will surely find me.
18, Unending riches, honor, wealth, and justice are mine to distribute.
19, My gifts are better than the purest gold, my wages better than sterling silver!
Proverbs 4:7-9 KJV
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. [
8] Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
[9] She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
Proverbs 19:8
To acquire wisdom is to love oneself; people who cherish understanding will prosper.
Proverbs 22:1
Choose a good reputation over great riches, for being held in high esteem is better than having silver.
Ecclesiastes 5:10
NKJV: He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver;
Nor he who loves abundance, with increase.
This also is vanity.
NCV: Wealth Cannot Buy Happiness
Whoever loves money
will never have enough money;
Whoever loves wealth
will not be satisfied with it.
This is also useless.
Proverbs 8:10,19 KJV
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
[19] My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver
Proverbs 3:13 Happy is the person who finds wisdom and gains understanding.
Proverbs 3:14 For the profit of wisdom is better than silver, and her wages are better than gold.
Proverbs 3:15 Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
Proverbs 3:16 She offers you life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left.
So what is wisdom?
Wisdom is to fear God and do what is pleasing to Him.
Proverbs 14:16 KJV
A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
Proverbs 22:4 KJV
By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.
Proverbs 15:33 KJV
The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
Proverbs 15:33 Fear of the Lord teaches a person to be wise; humility precedes honor.
A woman that fears the Lord, a woman of wisdom.
Proverbs 31:30 KJV
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord , she shall be praised.
Wisdom reveals the great mystery of life: that living for myself and my own interests does not satisfy, while living wholly for God and in obedience to His Word brings joy and peace and life in abundance.
Wisdom helps you make right decisions when the gold or money comes.
Chase after wisdom before money.
Wisdom itself brings gold.
Money does not give happiness, wisdom does.
How do you get wisdom
James 1:5 KJV
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Wisdom comes from studying God's word.
1 Corinthians 1:30 KJV
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Jesus has become our wisdom.
When you seek after wisdom, you seek after Jesus Christ our Lord an saviour.
Some go after the creation instead of the creator.
You seek Jesus, you get everything
Matthew 6:33
"In summary the bible says, seek WISDOM first, then GOLD OR MONEY will come after you.
