Job 28

  1. Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it. 🔗
  2. Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone. 🔗
  3. He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death. 🔗
  4. The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men. 🔗
  5. As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire. 🔗
  6. The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold. 🔗
  7. There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture2019s eye hath not seen: 🔗
  8. The lion2019s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. 🔗
  9. He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots. 🔗
  10. He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing. 🔗
  11. He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light. 🔗
  12. But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? 🔗
  13. Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. 🔗
  14. The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me. 🔗
  15. It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof. 🔗
  16. It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. 🔗
  17. The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold. 🔗
  18. No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies. 🔗
  19. The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. 🔗
  20. Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? 🔗
  21. Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. 🔗
  22. Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. 🔗
  23. God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. 🔗
  24. For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; 🔗
  25. To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure. 🔗
  26. When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder: 🔗
  27. Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out. 🔗
  28. And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. 🔗
