Job 28:16–19

16 Wisdom cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,d

in precious onyx or lapis lazuli.e

17 Gold and glass do not compare with it,

and articles of fine gold cannot be exchanged for it.f

18 Coral and quartz are not worth mentioning.

The price of wisdom is beyond pearls.

19 Topaz from Cush cannot compare with it,

and it cannot be valued in pure gold.
