15 Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.
15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
15 There is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
15 Drinking from the beautiful chalice of knowledge is better than adorning oneself with gold and rare gems.
15 There is gold and a multitude of rubies, But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
15 Wise words are more valuable than much gold and many rubies.

Commentary on Proverbs 20:15
(Read Proverbs 20:15)
He that prefers true knowledge to riches, follows the ways of religion and happiness. If we really believed this truth, the word of God would be valued as it deserves, and the world would lose its tempting influence.
