proverbs 8: wisdom and wealth

In Proverbs 8 we read Wisdom saying:


Prefer my life-disciplines over chasing after money,

    and God-knowledge over a lucrative career.

For Wisdom is better than all the trappings of wealth;

    nothing you could wish for holds a candle to her.


    

and then:


I love those who love me;

    those who look for me find me.

Wealth and Glory accompany me—

    also substantial Honor and a Good Name.

My benefits are worth more than a big salary, even a very big salary;

    the returns on me exceed any imaginable bonus.


The one who searches for Wisdom over wealth avoids the trappings of wealth, mas interestingly, the one who seeks wisdom first, receives benefits as wealth, honor and a good name.
