Job 28:12-28

12“But 1whereH370 can wisdomH2451 be foundH4672? And whereH335 is the placeH4725 of understandingH998?132MankindH582 does not knowH3045 its valueH6187, NorH3808 is it foundH4672 in the landH776 of the livingH2416.14The oceanH8415 depthH8415 saysH559, ‘It is not in me’; And the seaH3220 saysH559, ‘It is not with me.’153PureH5458 goldH5458 cannotH3808 be givenH5414 inH8478 exchangeH8478 forH8478 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, Nor can it be exchangedH8545 for articlesH3627 of pureH6337 goldH6337.18CoralH7215 and crystalH1378 are not to be mentionedH2142; And the acquisitionH4901 of 5wisdomH2451 is moreH4480 valuable thanH4480 pearlsH6443.19The topazH6357 of 6CushH3568 cannotH3808 equalH6186 it, NorH3808 can it be valuedH5541 in 7pureH2889 goldH3800.208WhereH370 then does wisdomH2451 comeH935 from? And whereH335 is thisH2088 placeH4725 of understandingH998?21It is hiddenH5956 from the eyesH5869 of everyH3605 livingH2416 creature, And concealedH5641 from the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064.22910AbaddonH11 and DeathH4194 sayH559, ‘With our earsH241 we have heardH8085 a reportH8088 of it.’

23“11GodH430 understandsH995 its wayH1870, And He knowsH3045 its placeH4725.24For He 12looksH5027 to the endsH7098 of the earthH776; He seesH7200 everythingH3605 underH8478 the heavensH8064.25When He impartedH6213 13weightH4948 to the windH7307, And 14assessedH8505 the watersH4325 by measureH4060,26When He madeH6213 a 15limitH2706 for the rainH4306, And a courseH1870 for the 16thunderboltH6963H2385,27ThenH227 He sawH7200 it and declaredH5608 it; He establishedH3559 it and alsoH1571 searchedH2713 it outH2713.28And to mankindH120 He saidH559, ‘BeholdH2005, the 17fearH3374 of the LordH136, that is wisdomH2451; And to turnH5493 awayH5493 from evilH7451 is understandingH998.’”
