Proverbs 3:15 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Rubies - The פנינים pânı̂ynı̂ym were among the costly articles of traffic, and red or rose-colored Lamentations 4:7. The last fact has led some to identify them with coral, or (as in the King James Version) with “rubies.” Most commentators, however, have identified them with pearls, which may connect this passage with Matthew 7:6; Matthew 13:45. The words of the promise here are almost the echo of 1 Kings 3:11-13.

Proverbs 3:15

15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
