13 Verily, no man can tell how worthy a thing she is, neither is she found in the land of the living.
14 "The deep sayeth, 'She is not in me.' The sea sayeth, 'She is not with me.'
15 She cannot be gotten for the most fine gold, neither may the price of her be bought with any money.
16 No wedges of gold of Ophir, no precious Onyx stones, no Sapphire may be compared unto her.
17 No, neither gold nor Crystal, neither sweet odours nor golden plate.
18 There is nothing so worthy, or so excellent, as once to be named unto her: for perfect wisdom goeth far beyond them all.
19 The Topaz that cometh out of Ethiopia may in no wise be likened unto her: yea, no manner of apparel how pleasant and fair soever it be.
20 "From where then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?
21 She is hid from the eyes of all men; yea, and from the fouls of the air.
22 Destruction and death say, 'We have heard tell of her with our ears.'
23 But God seeth her way, and knoweth her place.
24 For he holdeth the ends of the world and looketh upon all that is under the heaven.
25 When he weighed the winds, and measured the waters;
26 When he set the rain in order, and gave the mighty floods a law;
27 Then did he see her, then declared he her, prepared her and knew her.
28 And unto man he said, 'Behold, to fear the LORD is wisdom: and to forsake evil, is understanding.'"
