Gold is not given for it, Nor is silver weighed -- its price. It is not valued with pure gold of Ophir, With precious onyx and sapphire, Not equal it do gold and crystal, Nor is its exchange a vessel of fine gold. Corals and pearl are not remembered, The acquisition of wisdom is above rubies. Not equal it doth the topaz of Cush, With pure gold it is not valued. And the wisdom -- whence doth it come? And where is this, the place of understanding? It hath been hid from the eyes of all living. And from the fowl of the heavens It hath been hidden. Destruction and death have said: 'With our ears we have heard its fame.' God hath understood its way, And He hath known its place. For He to the ends of the earth doth look, Under the whole heavens He doth see, To make for the wind a weight, And the waters He meted out in measure. In His making for the rain a limit, And a way for the brightness of the voices, Then He hath seen and declareth it, He hath prepared it, and also searched it out, And He saith to man: -- 'Lo, fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to turn from evil is understanding.'
