14 The Deep says, "It’s not with me";the Sea says, "Not alongside me!"
15 It can’t be bought with gold;its price can’t be measured in silver,
16 can’t be weighed against gold from Ophir,with precious onyx or lapis lazuli.
17 Neither gold nor glass can compare with it;she can’t be acquired with gold jewelry.
18 Coral and jasper shouldn’t be mentioned;the price of wisdom is more than rubies.
19 Cushite topaz won’t compare with her;she can’t be set alongside pure gold.
20 But wisdom, where does she come from?Where is the place of understanding?
