16 Não pode ser avaliada com ouro de Ofir, nem com ônix precioso, nem com safira.

17 Não se pode comparar com ela o ouro, nem o cristal; nem se pode trocar por joia de ouro fino.

18 De coral nem de quartzo não se fará menção; porque o preço da sabedoria é melhor que o de rubis.

19 O topázio de Cuxe não se pode comparar com ela; nem pode ser avaliada com o puro ouro fino.

20 De onde, pois, vem a sabedoria? E onde está o lugar da inteligência?
