Job 28:15-19
Legacy Standard Bible
15 (A)Pure gold cannot be given in place of it,
Nor can silver be weighed as its price.
16 It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,
In precious onyx or sapphire.
17 (B)Gold or glass cannot meet its worth,
Nor can it be exchanged for articles of fine gold.
18 Coral and crystal are not to be mentioned;
And the acquisition of (C)wisdom is above that of pearls.
19 The topaz of [a]Ethiopia cannot meet its worth,
Nor can it be valued in (D)pure gold.
