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! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

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

There is one [alone], and [there is] not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith he], For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also 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 shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?›

‹But God said unto him,› [Thou] ‹fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?›
