It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for its price. It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx or the sapphire. Gold cannot equal it, nor can diamond; neither shall it be exchanged for vessels of fine gold. No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls; for wisdom is better than precious stones. The emerald of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. Where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding? Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living and kept concealed from every fowl of the heaven. Hell and death say, We have heard its fame with our ears. God understands its way, and he alone knows its place. For he looks unto the ends of the earth and sees under the whole heaven, To make a weight for the wind and to supply water by measure, when he made a law for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunders. Then he saw it and counted it; he prepared it and also searched it out. And unto man he said, Behold, that the fear of the Lord, is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Length of days is in her right hand and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
