15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
15 It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.
15 It cannot be bought for gold, and silver cannot be weighed as its price.
15 It can't be bought with the finest gold; no amount of silver can get it.
15 It cannot be purchased for gold, Nor can silver be weighed for its price.
15 It cannot be bought with gold. It cannot be purchased with silver.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 28:15
Commentary on Job 28:12-19
(Read Job 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.
