Job 28:17
Compare all
15 It acannot be purchased for gold,
Nor can silver be weighed for its price. 
16 It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,
In precious onyx or sapphire.
17 Neither agold nor crystal can equal it,
Nor can it be exchanged for1 jewelry of fine gold. 
18 No mention shall be made of1 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 “Froma 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 the1 air.
