No human being understands how much it’s worth. It can’t be found anywhere in the world.The ocean says,“ It’s not in me.” The sea says,“ It’s not here either.”It can’t be bought with the finest gold. Its price can’t be weighed out in silver.It can’t be bought with gold from Ophir. It can’t be bought with priceless onyx or lapis lazuli.Gold or crystal can’t compare with it. It can’t be bought with jewels made of gold.Don’t bother to talk about coral and jasper. Wisdom is worth far more than rubies.A topaz from Cush can’t compare with it.

Look for it as you would look for silver. Search for it as you would search for hidden treasure.

I’m filled with joy because of your promise. It’s like finding a great fortune.

God said to Solomon,“ I am glad that those are the things you really want. You have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor. You have not even asked to have your enemies killed. You have not asked to live for a long time. Instead, you have asked for wisdom and knowledge. You want to be able to rule my people wisely. I have made you king over them.So wisdom and knowledge will be given to you. I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor. You will have more than any king before you ever had. And no king after you will have as much.”

Even more, I consider everything to be nothing compared to knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. To know him is worth much more than anything else. Because of him I have lost everything. But I consider all of it to be garbage so I can know Christ better.I want to be joined to him. Being right with God does not come from my obeying the law. It comes because I believe in Christ. It comes from God because of faith.

So here’s my advice. Buy from me gold made pure by fire. Then you will become rich. Buy from me white clothes to wear. Then you will be able to cover the shame of your naked bodies. And buy from me healing lotion to put on your eyes. Then you will be able to see.
