Proverbs 8:11
Ver. 11. For wisdom [is] better than rubies,.... A sort of precious stones: or, "than precious stones" {z} in general; so the Targum and Septuagint, Arabic and Syriac versions; even than all of them, as the Vulgate Latin version; or, than "pearls" {a}, or "carbuncles" {b}: there are none equal to it, nor is it to be procured by them; see Job 28:16;
and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it; See Gill on "Pr 3:15".
