Job 28:12-23

13Man knoweth not the value thereof; and it is not foundH4672 in the landH776 of the living.

21For it is hiddenH5641 from the eyesH5869 of all living, and concealedH5641 from the fowl of the heavensH8064.

22Destruction and deathH4194 sayH559, We have heardH8085 its reportH8088 with our earsH241.

231GodH430 understandeth the wayH1870 thereof, and he knoweth its placeH4725:
