Job 28:12-20 NIV

[12] But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell? [13] No mortal comprehends its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living. [14] The deep says, “It is not in me”; the sea says, “It is not with me.” [15] It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver. [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. [18] Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies. [19] The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be bought with pure gold. [20] Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell?
