Job 28:16–17

16 It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir,

with precious onyx or lapis lazuli.

17 Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it,

nor can it be had for jewels of gold.

16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir,

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.

16 It’s worth more than all the gold of Ophir,

greater than precious onyx or lapis lazuli.

17 Wisdom is more valuable than gold and crystal.

It cannot be purchased with jewels mounted in fine gold.

16 It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,

In precious onyx or sapphire.

17 Neither gold nor crystal can equal it,

Nor can it be exchanged for jewelry of fine gold.

16 Wisdom cannot be bought with fine gold

or with valuable onyx or sapphire gems.

17 Gold and crystal are not as valuable as wisdom,

and you cannot buy it with jewels of gold.

16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir,

With the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

17 Gold and glass cannot equal it,

Neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.

16 It is not set in the balance with gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, and the sapphire. 17 Gold and glass cannot be compared to it, nor vessels of fine gold be its exchange.

16 It can’t be bought with the gold from Ophir 

or with precious onyx or sapphire. 

17 Neither gold nor glass can equal its value. 

Nor can gold ornaments, jewels, or crystal

and articles of fine gold cannot be exchanged for it.
