The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.

To start being wise you must first get wisdom. No matter what it costs, get understanding.

Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.

Wisdom is supreme— so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get understanding.

The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; And with all your possessions, acquire understanding.

Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.

Wisdom is supreme— so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get understanding.

Wisdom[ is] the principal thing;[ therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Wisdom is supreme– so acquire wisdom, and whatever you acquire, acquire understanding!

Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.

For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

But I say that wisdom is better than might, though the poor man’s wisdom is despised and his words are not heard.The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

“ The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.“ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls,who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?For what can a man give in return for his soul?

But God said to him,‘ Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’

Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases.For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed— and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—his soul will go to the generation of his fathers, who will never again see light.Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.

The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.

I made great works. I built houses and planted vineyards for myself.I made myself gardens and parks, and planted in them all kinds of fruit trees.I made myself pools from which to water the forest of growing trees.I bought male and female slaves, and had slaves who were born in my house. I had also great possessions of herds and flocks, more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem.I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces. I got singers, both men and women, and many concubines, the delight of the sons of man.So I became great and surpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me.

one person who has no other, either son or brother, yet there is no end to all his toil, and his eyes are never satisfied with riches, so that he never asks,“ For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is vanity and an unhappy business.

but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
