Proverbs 3:15

Compare all

13 ^aHappy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;

14 ^aFor her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.

15 She is more precious than rubies,
And ^aall the things you may desire cannot compare with her.

16 ^aLength of days is in her right hand,
In her left hand riches and honor.

17 ^aHer ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.

Proverbs 3:15

Rubies - The pânı̂ynı̂ym were among the costly articles of traffic, and red or rose-colored Lamentations 4:7. The last fact has led some to identify them with coral, or (as in the King James Version) with "rubies." Most commentators, however, have identified them with pearls, which may connect this passage with Matthew 7:6; Matthew 13:45. The words of the promise here are almost the echo of I Kings 3:11-13.
