"Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
"The depth saith, It is not in me; and the sea saith, It is not with me.
"It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
"It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
"The gold and the crystal cannot equal it; and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
"No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls; for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
"The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shal it be valued with pure gold.
"Whence then cometh wisdom?, and where is the place of understanding?"
"God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof."
Job 28:12-20, 23
