Job 28:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ “It cannot be acquired with the gold of Ophir,
    nor with precious onyx or sapphire.
¹⁷ Gold or crystal^[a] cannot be compared to it,
    nor can it be exchanged for vessels of gold.
¹⁸ Neither coral nor alabaster deserve to be mentioned;
    the price of wisdom is beyond pearls.
