18 No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal: Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20 Whence then comes wisdom? Where is the place of understanding?
21 Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living, And kept close from the birds of the sky.
22 Destruction and Death say, 'We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.'
