Proverbs 3:15
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
KJV
Pretiosior est cunctis opibus, et omnia quæ desiderantur huic non valent comparari.
Vulgate
τιμιωτέρα δέ ἐστιν λίθων πολυτελῶν· οὐκ ἀντιτάξεται αὐτῇ οὐδὲν πονηρόν. εὔγνωστός ἐστιν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐγγίζουσιν αὐτῇ, πᾶν δὲ τίμιον οὐκ ἄξιον αὐτῆς ἐστιν.
LXX
She is more precious than rubies: And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.
