12. But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
13. Man knoweth not the price of it; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14. The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
15. It cannot be obtained for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price of it.
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.
18. No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19. The topaz of Cush shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
