But, in truth, where is wisdom to be found, and where is the place of understanding?
Man does not know its price, nor is it found in the land of those who live in sweetness.
The abyss declares, “It is not in me.” And the sea says, “It is not with me.”
The finest gold will not be paid for it, nor will silver be weighed in exchange for it.
It will not be compared with the dyed colors of India, nor with the very costly stone sardonyx, nor with the sapphire.
Neither gold nor crystal will be its equal; neither will vessels of gold be fitted for it.
The exalted and the eminent will not be remembered in comparison with it. Yet wisdom is drawn out of concealment.
