β€œThe law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.”

KJV

Meaning

Teth (vv.65–72) closes by placing moral and spiritual wisdom above monetary wealth.

Teth

God's goodness is recognized through teaching, correction, affliction, and the value of his instruction.

Read carefully

The verse establishes a priority of values; it does not make poverty a virtue or wealth a proof of vice.
