SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:15

¶ Hay oro y multitud de piedras preciosas; mas los labios sabios son vaso precioso.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 20:15

Verse 15. There is gold ] Gold is valuable, silver is valuable, and so are jewels; but the teachings of sound knowledge are more valuable than all.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 15. There is gold, and a multitude of rubies , etc.] A man may have a large quantity of either, or of both of thorn, as some men have; for there is much of them in the world, not only in mines and quarries, but in the houses and cabinets of men; but the lips of knowledge [are] a precious jewel ; knowledge even of things natural, and a gift of elocution to express it by, are a rare jewel, and much more precious than gold and rubies, than a multitude of them; these are not to be mentioned with it, it is not equalled by them, it is greatly superior to them; (see Job 28:12-19); and much more spiritual knowledge, and a capacity of expressing that to the edification of others; and especially Christ, the Wisdom of God, and the knowledge of him, who is more precious than rubies, and all desirable things, in comparison of which all things are loss and dung, ( Proverbs 3:14,15 Philippians 3:8).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15 - He that prefers true knowledge to riches, follows the ways of religio and happiness. If we really believed this truth, the word of God woul be valued as it deserves, and the world would lose its temptin influence.
