And where is the place of understanding? 13 Man does not know its value; nor is it found in the land of the living. 14 The depth says, 'It is not in me'; and the sea says, 'It is not with me.' 15 It cannot be bought with gold, nor shall silver be weighed for its price. 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, nor can it be exchanged 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 Ethiopia shall not equal it, nor shall it be valued with pure gold. 20 From where then comes wisdom? And where is the place of understanding? 21 Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and kept secret from the birds of the air. 22 Destruction and death say, 'We have heard a report of it with our ears.' 23 God understands its way, and he knows its place.
