Job 28:19 in Context — Job 28

17 El oro no se le igualará, ni el diamante; ni se trocará por vaso de oro fino.

18 De coral ni de perlas no se hará mención: la sabiduría es mejor que piedras preciosas.

19 No se igualará con ella esmeralda de Ethiopía; no se podrá apreciar con oro fino.

20 ¿De dónde pues vendrá la sabiduría? ¿y dónde está el lugar de la inteligencia?

21 Porque encubierta está á los ojos de todo viviente, y á toda ave del cielo es oculta.
