Job 28:9-16 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. The miner attacks the hardest rock. His strong hands uncover the base of the mountains.

10. He tunnels through the rock. His eyes see all of its treasures.

11. He searches the places where the rivers begin. He brings hidden things out into the light.

12. "And where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding live?

13. No one knows how much it's worth. It can't be found anywhere in the world.

14. The ocean says, 'It's not in me.' The sea says, 'It's not here either.'

15. It can't be bought with the finest gold. Its price can't be weighed out in silver.

16. It can't be bought with gold from Ophir. It can't be bought with priceless onyx or sapphires.
