Job 28:15-19
Fine gold cannot be given in exchange for it, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.It cannot be measured out for purchase with the gold of Ophir, with precious onyx or sapphires.Neither gold nor crystal can be compared with it, nor can a vase of gold match its worth.Of coral and jasper no mention will be made; the price of wisdom is more than pearls.The topaz of Cush cannot be compared with it; it cannot be purchased with pure gold.

Philippians 3:8-9
More than that, I now regard all things as liabilities compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things– indeed, I regard them as dung!– that I may gain Christ,and be found in him, not because I have my own righteousness derived from the law, but because I have the righteousness that comes by way of Christ’s faithfulness– a righteousness from God that is in fact based on Christ’s faithfulness.

Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding; do not forget and do not turn aside from the words I speak.Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will guard you.Wisdom is supreme– so acquire wisdom, and whatever you acquire, acquire understanding!
