Job 28:18
Job 28:18 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal; the price of wisdom is above pearls.
Job 28:12-19 The Message (MSG)
“But where, oh where, will they find Wisdom? Where does Insight hide? Mortals don’t have a clue, haven’t the slightest idea where to look. Earth’s depths say, ‘It’s not here’; ocean deeps echo, ‘Never heard of it.’ It can’t be bought with the finest gold; no amount of silver can get it. Even famous Ophir gold can’t buy it, not even diamonds and sapphires. Neither gold nor emeralds are comparable; extravagant jewelry can’t touch it. Pearl necklaces and ruby bracelets—why bother? None of this is even a down payment on Wisdom! Pile gold and African diamonds as high as you will, they can’t hold a candle to Wisdom.
Job 28:18 King James Version (KJV)
No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: For the price of wisdom is above rubies.

Coral and jasper are not worth talking about, and the price of wisdom is much greater than rubies.

Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.
