Job 28:6-16

6The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and it hath dust of gold.

7It is a path no bird of prey knoweth, and the vulture's eye hath not seen it;

8The proud beasts have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed over it.

9[Man] putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock, he overturneth the mountains by the root.

10He cutteth out channels in the rocks, and his eye seeth every precious thing.

11He bindeth the streams that they drip not, and what is hidden he bringeth forth to light.

12But wisdom, where shall it be found? and where is the place of understanding?

13Man knoweth not the value thereof; and it is not found in the land of the living.

14The deep saith, It is not in me; and the sea saith, It is not with me.

15Choice gold cannot be given for it, nor silver be weighed for its price.

16It is not set in the balance with gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, and the sapphire.
