Proverbes 8:11 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 8:11

For wisdom [is] better than rubies
A sort of precious stones: or, "than precious stones" F26 in general; so the Targum and Septuagint, Arabic and Syriac versions; even than all of them, as the Vulgate Latin version; or, than "pearls" F1, or "carbuncles" F2: there are none equal to it, nor is it to be procured by them; see ( Job 28:16-19 ) ;

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

11 Car la sagesse est meilleure que les perles, et tout ce qu'on pourrait souhaiter ne la vaut pas.
12 Moi, la sagesse, j'habite avec le discernement, et je possède la science des sages pensées.
13 La crainte de l'Éternel, c'est la haine du mal; je hais l'orgueil et l'arrogance, la voie du mal et la bouche perverse.
