" I preferred her before sceptres and thrones. I considered riches nothing in comparison to her. "

Wisdom 7:8

menu_book Verse in Context

6 but all men have one entrance into life, and a common departure.

7 For this cause I prayed, and understanding was given to me. I asked, and a spirit of wisdom came to me.

8 I preferred her before sceptres and thrones. I considered riches nothing in comparison to her.

9 Neither did I liken to her any priceless gem, because all gold in her presence is a little sand, and silver will be considered as clay before her.

10 I loved her more than health and beauty, and I chose to have her rather than light, because her bright shining is never laid to sleep.
