Jó 28

12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where [is] the place of understanding?

13 Man knows not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

14 The depth says, It [is] not in me: and the sea says, [It is] not with me.

15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed [for] the price thereof.

16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ofir [reducing to ashes], with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it [shall not be for] jewels of fine gold.

18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom [is] above rubies.

19 The topaz of Ethiopia [Kush] shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

20 Whence then comes wisdom? and where [is] the place of understanding?

21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.

22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
