SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:11
Porque mejor es la sabiduría que las piedras preciosas; y todas las cosas que se pueden desear, no son de comparar con ella.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 8:11
Verse 11. Wisdom is better than rubies ] See on chap. iii. 15.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. For wisdom [is] better than rubies , etc.] A sort of precious stones: or, “than precious stones” in general; so the Targum and Septuagint, Arabic and Syriac versions; even than all of them, as the Vulgate Latin version; or, than “pearls” f217 , or “carbuncles” f218 : 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”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - The will of God is made known by the works of creation, and by the consciences of men, but more clearly by Moses and the prophets. The chief difficulty is to get men to attend to instruction. Yet attentio to the words of Christ, will guide the most ignorant into savin knowledge of the truth. Where there is an understanding heart, an willingness to receive the truth in love, wisdom is valued above silve and gold.
