She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things you desire can compare with her.

She is like a tree of life to those who obtain her, and everyone who grasps hold of her will be blessed.

For wisdom is better than rubies, and desirable things cannot be compared to her.

Better is a dry crust of bread where there is quietness than a house full of feasting with strife.
