For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
