Job 28:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ High and eminent things shall not be mentioned in comparison of it: but wisdom is drawn out of secret places.

¹⁹ The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equal to it, neither shall it be compared to the cleanest dyeing.

²⁰ Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
