רָאמוֹת וְגָבִישׁ לֹא יִזָּכֵר וּמֶשֶׁךְ חָכְמָה מִפְּנִינִֽים
No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal; Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
לֹֽא־יַעַרְכֶנָּה פִּטְדַת־כּוּשׁ בְּכֶתֶם טָהוֹר לֹא תְסֻלֶּֽה
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
וְֽהַחָכְמָה מֵאַיִן תָּבוֹא וְאֵי זֶה מְקוֹם בִּינָֽה
Whence then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?
וְֽנֶעֶלְמָה מֵעֵינֵי כָל־חָי וּמֵעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם נִסְתָּֽרָה
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, And kept close from the fowls of the air.
אֲבַדּוֹן וָמָוֶת אָמְרוּ בְּאָזְנֵינוּ שָׁמַעְנוּ שִׁמְעָֽהּ
Destruction and Death say: ‘We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears.’
