And where is the place of understanding?H370H2451H4672H4725H99813Mortals do not know the way to it, and it is not found in the land of the living.H582H3045H6187H4672H776H241614The deep says, 'It is not in me,' and the sea says, 'It is not with me.'H8415H559H3220H55915It cannot be gotten for gold, and silver cannot be weighed out as its price.H5414H5458H3701H8254H424216It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire.H5541H3800H211H3368H7718H560117Gold and glass cannot equal it, nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.H2091H2137H6186H8545H3627H633718No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal; the price of wisdom is above pearls.H2142H7215H1378H4901H2451H644319The chrysolite of Ethiopia cannot compare with it, nor can it be valued in pure gold.H6357H3568H6186H5541H2889H380020"Where then does wisdom come from?

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
