Job 28:18 in Context — Job 28

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.

20 D’où vient donc la sagesse? Où est la demeure de l’intelligence?
