10 As they tunnel through the rocks,They discover precious stones.
11 They dig to the sources of riversAnd bring to light what is hidden.
12 But where can wisdom be found?Where can we learn to understand?
13 Wisdom is not to be found among mortals;No one knows its true value.
14 The depths of the oceans and seasSay that wisdom is not found there.
15 It cannot be bought with silver or gold.
16 The finest gold and jewelsCannot equal its value.
