Job 28:12-23
12“But 1whereH370 can wisdomH2451 be foundH4672? And whereH335 is the placeH4725 of understandingH998?132ManH582 does not knowH3045 its valueH6187, NorH3808 is it foundH4672 in the landH776 of the livingH2416.14The deepH8415 saysH559, ‘It is not in me’; And the seaH3220 saysH559, ‘It is not with me.’153PureH5462 goldH5458 cannotH3808 be givenH5414 in exchangeH8478 for it, NorH3808 can silverH3701 be weighedH8254 as its priceH4242.16It cannotH3808 be valuedH5541 in the goldH3800 of OphirH211, In preciousH3368 onyxH7718, or sapphireH5601.174GoldH2091 or glassH2137 cannotH3808 equalH6186 it, NorH3808 can it be exchangedH8545 for articlesH3627 of fineH6337 goldH6337.18CoralH7215 and crystalH1378 are not to be mentionedH2142; And the acquisitionH4901 of 5wisdomH2451 is aboveH4480 that of pearlsH6443.19The topazH6357 of EthiopiaH3568 cannotH3808 equalH6186 it, NorH3808 can it be valuedH5541 in 6pureH2889 goldH3800.207WhereH370 then does wisdomH2451 comeH935 from? And whereH335 is the placeH4725 of understandingH998?21Thus it is hiddenH5956 from the eyesH5869 of allH3605 livingH2416 And concealedH5641 from the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064.2289AbaddonH11 and DeathH4194 sayH559, ‘With our earsH241 we have heardH8085 a reportH8088 of it.’
23“10GodH430 understandsH995 its wayH1870, And He knowsH3045 its placeH4725.
