12 "But where shall wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?
13 Man doesn`t know its price; Neither is it found in the land of the living.
14 The deep says, `It isn`t in me.` The sea says, `It isn`t with me.`
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.
