Proverbs 8:19
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; And my revenue than choice silver.
-
Proverbs 8:10-11
Receive my instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than choice gold.For wisdom is better than rubies; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto it.
-
Proverbs 3:15-18
She is more precious than rubies: And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.Length of days is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor.Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: And happy is every one that retaineth her.

Ecclesiastes 7:12
For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath it.
-
Matthew 16:26
For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?

Job 28:13-28
Man knoweth not the price thereof; Neither is it found in the land of the living.The deep saith, It is not in me; And the sea saith, It is not with me.It cannot be gotten for gold, Neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, With the precious onyx, or the sapphire.Gold and glass cannot equal it, Neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal: Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies.The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.Whence then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, And kept close from the birds of the heavens.Destruction and Death say, We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears.God understandeth the way thereof, And he knoweth the place thereof.For he looketh to the ends of the earth, And seeth under the whole heaven;To make a weight for the wind: Yea, he meteth out the waters by measure.When he made a decree for the rain, And a way for the lightning of the thunder;Then did he see it, and declare it; He established it, yea, and searched it out.And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.
