Wisdom 7:9-11

Wycliffe Bible

⁹ and I comparisoned not a precious stone to it; for why all gold in comparison thereof is (but) a little gravel, and silver shall be areckoned as clay in the sight thereof. [nor I comparisoned to it a precious stone; for all gold in comparison of it (or to it) is (but) a little gravel, and as clay silver shall be esteemed in the sight of it.]

¹⁰ I loved wisdom more than health and fairness; and I purposed to have it for light, for the light thereof may not be quenched. [Over health and fairness I loved it; and I purposed for light to have it, for unquenchable is the light of it.]

¹¹ Forsooth all goods (or all good things) came together to me with it; and unnumberable honesty (or incalculable honour) is by the works thereof. [Forsooth there came to me all goods together with it; and unnumberable honesty by the hands of it.]
