Job 28:13

Verse 13 of 28. The 28th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

9He puts his hand on the flinty rock, and he overturns the mountains by the roots.

10He cuts out channels among the rocks. His eye sees every precious thing.

11He binds the streams that they don’t trickle. The thing that is hidden he brings out to light.

12“But where will wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?

13Man doesn’t know its price, and it isn’t found in the land of the living.

14The deep says, ‘It isn’t in me.’ The sea says, ‘It isn’t with me.’

15It can’t be gotten for gold, neither will silver be weighed for its price.

16It can’t be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

17Gold and glass can’t equal it, neither will it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
