ACV(i)
12 But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
13 Man does not know the price of it, nor is it found in the land of the living.
14 The deep says, It is not in me. And the sea says, It is not with me.
15 It cannot be gotten for gold, nor shall silver be weighed for the price of it.
16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17 Gold and glass cannot equal it, nor shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
18 No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal. Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, nor shall it be valued with pure gold.
20 Where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding?
