Job 28:15-19

¹⁵ It can't be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for its price.

¹⁶ It can't be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

¹⁷ Gold and glass can't equal it, neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine Gold.

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

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