"Refined gold cannot be gotten in its place, and silver cannot be weighed out [as] its price. It cannot be bought for the gold of Ophir, for precious onyx or sapphire.

It is hidden from [the] eyes of all living, and it is concealed from [the] birds of the heaven. Abaddon and Death say, 'We heard its rumor with our ears.' "God understands its way, and he knows its place, for he himself looks to [the] end of the earth; he sees under all the heaven. {When he gave} weight to the wind and he apportioned [the] waters by measure, {when he made} a rule for the rain and a way for [the] thunder's lightning bolt, then he saw it and talked about it; he established it, and moreover, he explored it. And to the human beings he said, 'Look, the fear of the Lord [is] wisdom, and to depart from evil [is] understanding.'"
