Proverbs 8:11
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

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
and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it;
See Gill on "Proverbs 3:15".
