Proverbs 8:10
Receive my instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than choice gold.
In context
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing froward or perverse in them. 9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, And right to them that find knowledge. 10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than choice gold. 11 For wisdom is better than rubies; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, And find out knowledge of witty inventions. 13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the froward mouth, do I hate.
