Proverbs 20:15
There is an abundance of gold and rubies, but lips of knowledge are a rare treasure.
BSB
ASV
There is gold, and abundance of rubies; But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
KJV
There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
