9. Humans thrust their hands into flint,pull up mountains from their roots,
10. cut channels into rocks;their eyes see everything precious.
11. They dam up the sources of rivers;hidden things come to light.
12. But wisdom, where can it be found;where is the place of understanding?
13. Humankind doesn’t know its value;it isn’t found in the land of the living.
14. The Deep says, "It’s not with me";the Sea says, "Not alongside me!"
15. It can’t be bought with gold;its price can’t be measured in silver,
16. can’t be weighed against gold from Ophir,with precious onyx or lapis lazuli.
17. Neither gold nor glass can compare with it;she can’t be acquired with gold jewelry.
