18 No mention shall be made of
1 coral or quartz,
For the price of wisdom
is above
arubies.
19 The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it,
Nor can it be valued in pure
agold.
20 “From
a where then does wisdom come?
And where
is the place of understanding?
21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living,
And concealed from the birds of the
1 air.
22 aDestruction
1 and Death say,
‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.’
