Wisdom: the greatest treasure

Chapter 8 in the book of Proverbs deals with wisdom.

Wisdom is better than jewels or gold or even the finest silver.  To have wisdom is to have sound judgment, to honor God by hating evil, arrogance, or pride.

In verse 22, it says God created Wisdom before he did anything else.  Before the skies were formed, before the oceans began, before all life . . . there was wisdom.

Knowledge of God and his righteousness, following the path of justice, is wisdom.

And if you have wisdom, God will be pleased.
