“My child, if you accept my words and treasure up my commandments within you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and incling your heart to understanding; if you indeed cry out for insight and raise your voice for understanding; if you seek it like silver, and search for it as for hidden treasures - you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. (Proverb 2:1-5)”
旧约圣经在箴言书第二章中, 又使用了寻求“银子”与“珍宝”的比喻。人爱财切之心,古今一也!
