Wisdom 7:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ I regarded her more highly than any throne or crown. Wealth was nothing compared to her. ⁹ Precious jewels could not equal her worth; beside Wisdom all the gold in the world is a handful of sand, and silver is nothing more than clay. ¹⁰ I valued her more than health and good looks. Hers is a brightness that never grows dim, and I preferred it to any other light.
