14“The deep says, ‘It is not in me’;
And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
15“aPure gold cannot be given in exchange for it,
Nor can silver be weighed as its price.
16“It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,
In precious onyx, or sapphire.
17“aGold or glass cannot equal it,
Nor can it be exchanged for articles of fine gold.
18“Coral and crystal are not to be mentioned;
And the acquisition of awisdom is above that of pearls.
