Job 28:12-20
12 a“But where shall wisdom be found?And where is the place of understanding?
13Man does not know its worth,
and it is not found in bthe land of the living.
14 cThe deep says, ‘It is not in me,’
and the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
15It dcannot be bought for gold,
and silver cannot be weighed as its price.
16It cannot be valued in ethe gold of fOphir,
in precious gonyx or hsapphire.
17Gold and glass cannot equal it,
nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
18No mention shall be made of icoral or of crystal;
the price of wisdom is above j, kpearls.
19 lThe topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it,
nor can it be valued in pure gold.
20 “From where, then, does wisdom come?
And where is the place of understanding?
