It...: Heb. Fine gold shall not be given for it

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

weighed-The precious metals were weighed out before coining was known (Ge 23:16).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

28:12-19 Job here speaks of wisdom and understanding, the knowing and enjoying of God and ourselves. Its worth is infinitely more than all the riches in this world. It is a gift of the Holy Ghost which cannot be bought with money. Let that which is most precious in God's account, be so in ours. Job asks after it as one that truly desired to find it, and despaired of finding it any where but in God; any way but by Divine revelation.


Proverbs 3:13 How blessed is the man who finds wisdom And the man who gains understanding.
Proverbs 3:14 For her profit is better than the profit of silver And her gain better than fine gold.
Proverbs 8:10 "Take my instruction and not silver, And knowledge rather than choicest gold.
Proverbs 8:11 "For wisdom is better than jewels; And all desirable things cannot compare with her.
Proverbs 16:16 How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver. (NASB ©1995)
