Job 28:6-16

6Its stones are the place of sapphires, and it has dust of gold.

7"That path no bird of prey knows, and the falcon's eye has not seen it.

8The proud beasts have not trodden it; the lion has not passed over it.

9"Man puts his hand to the flinty rock and overturns mountains by the roots.

10He cuts out channels in the rocks, and his eye sees every precious thing.

11He dams up the streams so that they do not trickle, and the thing that is hidden he brings out to light.

12"But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

13Man does not know its worth, and it is not found in the land of the living.

14The deep says, 'It is not in me,' and the sea says, 'It is not with me.'

15It cannot be bought for gold, and silver cannot be weighed as its price.

16It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire.
