Job 28:14-23

14The deep says, “It is not in me”; the sea says, “It is not with me.”

15It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.

16It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir, with precious onyx or lapis lazuli.

17Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it, nor can it be had for jewels of gold.

18Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.

19The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be bought with pure gold.

20Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell?

21It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds in the sky.

22Destruction Hebrew Abaddon and Death say, “Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.”

23God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwells,
