Job 28:20-28

201WhereH370 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 skyH8064.2223AbaddonH11 and DeathH4194 sayH559, ‘With our earsH241 we have heardH8085 a reportH8088 of it.’

23“4GodH430 understandsH995 its wayH1870, And He knowsH3045 its placeH4725.24For He 5looksH5027 to the endsH7098 of the earthH776 And seesH7200 everythingH3605 underH8478 the heavensH8064.25When He impartedH6213 6weightH4948 to the windH7307 And 7metedH8505 out the watersH4325 by measureH4060,26When He setH6213 a 8limitH2706 for the rainH4306 And a courseH1870 for the 9thunderboltH6963H2385,27ThenH227 He sawH7200 it and declaredH5608 it; He establishedH3559 it and alsoH1571 searchedH2713 it out.28And to manH120 He saidH559, ‘BeholdH2005, the 10fearH3374 of the LordH136, that is wisdomH2451; And to departH5493 from evilH7451 is understandingH998.’”
