Man does not know its value, Nor is it found in the land of the living.The deep says,‘ It is not in me’; And the sea says,‘ It is not with me.’It cannot be purchased for gold, Nor can silver be weighed for its price.It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, In precious onyx or sapphire.Neither gold nor crystal can equal it, Nor can it be exchanged for jewelry of fine gold.No mention shall be made of coral or quartz, For the price of wisdom is above rubies.The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it, Nor can it be valued in pure gold.

I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
