What does the Bible say about coral?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible presents coral as a precious and valuable material, yet teaches that true wisdom from God is worth far more than any earthly treasure. In Job 28:18, coral and jewels cannot compare with the value of wisdom, which belongs ultimately to God and is received through fearing Him and turning from evil. Ezekiel 27:16 names coral among the costly goods traded by Tyre, showing its place in the wealth and commerce of the ancient world. These passages remind us that material beauty and riches are gifts within God’s creation, but they must never rival the surpassing worth of knowing, fearing, and trusting the Lord.
