To get wisdom—how much better than gold! And to get understanding is chosen above silver.
In context
14A king’s fury is a messenger of death, but a wise man will appease it. 15In the light of a king’s face there is life, and his favor is like a cloud of spring rain. 16To get wisdom—how much better than gold! And to get understanding is chosen above silver. 17The highway of the upright turns away from evil; whoever guards his way keeps his life. 18Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
