Job 28:15

WisdomMoney and wealth

13 No man can know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living.

14 The ocean depths say, ‘It is not in me,’ while the sea declares, ‘It is not with me.’

It cannot be bought with gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.

16 It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire.

17 Neither gold nor crystal can compare to it, nor jewels of fine gold be exchanged for it.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
