Key Takeaways

Wisdom is a valuable, feminine spirit.

Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets: She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she utters her words, saying, How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my Ruach unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

MISHLEI (PROVERBS) 1:20-23 את CEPHER

Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things you can desire are not to be compared unto her.

MISHLEI (PROVERBS) 3:13-15 את CEPHER

My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

MISHLEI (PROVERBS) 8:19 את CEPHER

By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
