Job 28:20-28

20WhenceH370 then comethH935 wisdomH2451? and where is the placeH4725 of understandingH998?

21Seeing it is hidH5956 from the eyesH5869 of all livingH2416, and kept closeH5641 from the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064.1

22DestructionH11 and deathH4194 sayH559, We have heardH8085 the fameH8088 thereof with our earsH241.

23GodH430 understandethH995 the wayH1870 thereof, and he knowethH3045 the placeH4725 thereof.

24For he lookethH5027 to the endsH7098 of the earthH776, and seethH7200 under the whole heavenH8064;

25To makeH6213 the weightH4948 for the windsH7307; and he weighethH8505 the watersH4325 by measureH4060.

26When he madeH6213 a decreeH2706 for the rainH4306, and a wayH1870 for the lightningH2385 of the thunderH6963:

27Then did he seeH7200 it, and declareH5608 it; he preparedH3559 it, yea, and searched it outH2713.2

28And unto manH120 he saidH559, Behold, the fearH3374 of the LordH136, that is wisdomH2451; and to departH5493 from evilH7451 is understandingH998.
