Matthew 13:45
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

τί γὰρ ὠφελεῖται ἄνθρωπος ἐὰν τὸν κόσμον ὅλον κερδήσῃ τὴν δὲ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ζημιωθῇ ἢ τί δώσει ἄνθρωπος ἀντάλλαγμα τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
קְחֽוּ-מוּסָרִי וְאַל-כָּסֶף וְדַעַת מֵחָרוּץ נִבְחָֽר׃
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם מָצָא חָכְמָה וְאָדָם יָפִיק תְּבוּנָֽה׃
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
Ἄλλην παραβολὴν παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων Ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ σπείροντι καλὸν σπέρμα ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ αὐτοῦ
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
רָאמוֹת וְגָבִישׁ לֹא יִזָּכֵר וּמֶשֶׁךְ חָכְמָה מִפְּנִינִֽים׃
No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
עֹֽשֶׁר-וְכָבוֹד אִתִּי הוֹן עָתֵק וּצְדָקָֽה׃
Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
סוֹף דָּבָר הַכֹּל נִשְׁמָע אֶת-הָאֱלֹהִים יְרָא וְאֶת-מִצְוֹתָיו שְׁמוֹר כִּי-זֶה כָּל-הָאָדָֽם׃
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
אַךְ-בְּצֶלֶם׀ יִֽתְהַלֶּךְ-אִישׁ אַךְ-הֶבֶל יֶהֱמָיוּן יִצְבֹּר וְֽלֹא-יֵדַע מִי-אֹסְפָֽם׃
Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
οἱ δὲ ἀμελήσαντες ἀπῆλθον ὁ μὲν εἰς τὸν ἴδιον ἀγρόν ὁ δὲ εἰς τὴν ἐμπορίαν αὐτοῦ·
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
רַבִּים אֹמְרִים מִֽי-יַרְאֵנוּ טוֹב נְֽסָה-עָלֵינוּ אוֹר פָּנֶיךָ יְהוָֽה׃
There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
הֲבֵל הֲבָלִים אָמַר הַקּוֹהֶלֶת הַכֹּל הָֽבֶל׃
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
לִשְׂחוֹק אָמַרְתִּי מְהוֹלָל וּלְשִׂמְחָה מַה-זֹּה עֹשָֽׂה׃
I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
