Job 28:17 in Context — Job 28

15 Elle ne se donne pas contre de l’or pur, Elle ne s’achète pas au poids de l’argent;

16 Elle ne se pèse pas contre l’or d’Ophir, Ni contre le précieux onyx, ni contre le saphir;

17 Elle ne peut se comparer à l’or ni au verre, Elle ne peut s’échanger pour un vase d’or fin.

18 Le corail et le cristal ne sont rien auprès d’elle: La sagesse vaut plus que les perles.

19 La topaze d’Éthiopie n’est point son égale, Et l’or pur n’entre pas en balance avec elle.
