12 Where then is wysdome founde? and where is the place of vnderstanding? 13 Ueryly no man can tell howe worthy a thing she is, neither is she found in the lande of them that lyue. 14 The deepe sayth, She is not in me: the sea sayth, She is not with me. 15 She can not be gotten for golde, neither may the price of her be bought with any siluer. 16 No wedges of gold of Ophir, no precious Onix stones, no Saphires may be valued with her. 17 No, neither golde nor christall shall be equall vnto it, nor her exchaunge shalbe for the plate of fine golde. 18 No mention shalbe made of Corall nor of the Gabis: for wisdome is more precious then pearles. 19 The Topas of Ethiopia shall not be equall vnto it, neither shall it be valued with the wedge of pure golde.
