TSK · Proverbs 4:7

Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?

Through thy precepts I get understanding: Therefore I hate every false way.

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

Buy the truth, and sell it not; [Yea], wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, [saith he], do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

For what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
