Job 28:12-19

¹²But where can wisdom be found,

and where does understanding dwell?

¹³No man can know its value,

nor is it found in the land of the living.

¹⁴The ocean depths say, ‘It is not in me,’

while the sea declares, ‘It is not with me.’

¹⁵It cannot be bought with gold,

nor can its price be weighed out in silver.

¹⁶It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,

in precious onyx or sapphire.

¹⁷Neither gold nor crystal can compare to it,

nor jewels of fine gold be exchanged for it.

¹⁸Coral and quartz are unworthy of mention;

the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.

¹⁹Topaz from Cush cannot compare to it,

nor can it be valued in pure gold.
