Job 28:15

*The finest gold shall not purchase it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it

Wisdom 7:9.

Finest, obrizum, which has the colour of fire. (Pliny, [Natural History?] 23:3.) The old Vulgate and Septuagint read "locked-up gold," aurum conclusum, (Calmet) and the Hebrew Segor, (Haydock) "that which is shut up," like things of value: gold is sometimes specified, 3 Kings 6:20.
