NETBible

Neither gold nor crystal¹ can be compared with it, nor can a vase² of gold match its worth.

NET Notes

¹tn The word is from זָכַךְ (zakhakh, “clear”). It describes a transparent substance, and so “glass” is an appropriate translation. In the ancient world it was precious and so expensive.

²tc The MT has “vase”; but the versions have a plural here, suggesting jewels of gold.
