Job 28:6-16

6Its stones are the source of sapphires, And it contains gold dust.

7That path no bird knows, Nor has the falcon’s eye seen it.

8The proud lions have not trodden it, Nor has the fierce lion passed over it.

9He puts his hand on the flint; He overturns the mountains at the roots.

10He cuts out channels in the rocks, And his eye sees every precious thing.

11He dams up the streams from trickling; What is hidden he brings forth to light.

12“But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

13Man does not know its value, Nor is it found in the land of the living.

14The deep says, ‘It is not in me’; And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’

15It cannot be purchased for gold, Nor can silver be weighed for its price.

16It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, In precious onyx or sapphire.
