It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.

King James Bible
It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

It cannot be gotten for gold, Neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

Young's Literal Translation
Gold is not given for it, Nor is silver weighed -- its price.

Job 28:15 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

It cannot be gotten for gold - Genuine religion and true happiness are not to be acquired by earthly property. Solomon made gold and silver as plentiful as the stones in Jerusalem, and had all the delights of the sons of men, and yet he was not happy; yea, he had wisdom, was the wisest of men, but he had not the wisdom of which Job speaks here, and therefore, to him, all was vanity and vexation of spirit. If Solomon, as some suppose, was the author of this book, the sentiments expressed here are such as we might expect from this deeply experienced and wise man.
