The Scriptures, while acknowledging the value of money, point to something far more important: “Wisdom is for a protection the same as money is for a protection; but the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom itself preserves alive its owners. ” ​ — Ecclesiastes 7: 12.
Kuigi Pühakiri tunnustab raha väärtust, viitab ta millelegi palju tähtsamale: „Tarkuse varjus on nagu raha varjus; aga teadmise kasu on see, et tarkus hoiab elus selle omaniku! ” — Koguja 7: 12.
