Job 28:20-28

20“Where does wisdom come from? Where does understanding live?

21It is hidden from the eyes of every living being, hidden even from the birds in the air.

22Decay and Death say, ‘We’ve heard a rumor about it.’

23“God understands the way to it. He knows where it lives

24because he can see to the ends of the earth and observe everything under heaven.

25When he gave the wind its force and measured the water ⌞in the sea⌟,

26when he made rules for the rain and set paths for the thunderstorms,

27then he saw it and announced it. He confirmed it and examined it.

28So he told humans, ‘The fear of the Lord is wisdom! To stay away from evil is understanding.’ ”
