Job 28:15-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 It cannot be gotten for gold,
and silver cannot be weighed out as its price.
16 It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,
in precious onyx or sapphire.[a]
17 Gold and glass cannot equal it,
nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.(A)
18 No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal;
the price of wisdom is above pearls.(B)
19 The chrysolite of Cush cannot compare with it,
nor can it be valued in pure gold.(C)

because all gold is but a little sand in her sight,
and silver will be accounted as clay before her.(A)
