Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 10 is found in chapter 8 of Proverbs. Wisdom appears publicly again, but now with greater intensity: she speaks in visible places and addresses all humanity. Her message is upright, truthful, and superior to silver and wealth. The contrast with the seductive woman of the previous chapter is significant: both voices call to human beings, but one offers discernment while the other offers a hidden path toward destruction.

Nehmet an meine Zucht lieber denn Silber, und die Lehre achtet höher denn köstliches Gold.
Recibid mi enseñanza, y no plata; Y ciencia antes que el oro escogido.
Préférez mes instructions à l'argent, Et la science à l'or le plus précieux;
Ricevete il mio ammaestramento, e non dell’argento; E scienza, anzi che oro eletto.
Aceitai a minha correção, e não a prata; e o conhecimento, mais do que o ouro fino escolhido.
你們當領受我的訓誨,勝過領受銀子, 寧得知識,強如得上選的金子。
