Job 28:20-28

20“From where then does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?

21It is hidden from the eyes of all living, And concealed from the birds of the air.

22Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.’

23God understands its way, And He knows its place.

24For He looks to the ends of the earth, And sees under the whole heavens,

25To establish a weight for the wind, And apportion the waters by measure.

26When He made a law for the rain, And a path for the thunderbolt,

27Then He saw wisdom and declared it; He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out.

28And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”
