16It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, With the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

17Gold and glass cannot equal it, Neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.

18No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal: Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies.

19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

20Whence then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?

21Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, And kept close from the birds of the heavens.

22Destruction and Death say, We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears.
