Rubies

I own a dozen square-cut, Vietrnamese rubies. Sadly, they are tiny, barely a millimetre in size, and their value is commensurately small; had they been combined into one, they might have been worth admiring. Proverbs 20:15 states:

There is gold and a multitude of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
 
Even if mine had been boulders, a mouth speaking divine truth would be worth far more. There are kings, emperors and billionaires currently in hades who would exchange all their earthly wealth for a minute's more existence on earth and a conversation with a Christian who shares the truth of the gospel.
