Revised Version 1895
Job 28:12-23
12But whereH335 shall wisdomH2451 be foundH4672? and whereH335 is the placeH4725 of understandingH998?
13ManH582 knoweth notH3808 the price thereof; neitherH3808 is it foundH4672 in the landH776 of the livingH2416.
14The deepH8415 saith, It is notH3808 in meH5978: and the seaH3220 saith, It is notH3808 with meH5978.
15It cannotH3808 be gotten for goldH5458, neitherH3808 shall silverH3701 be weighedH8254 for the priceH3701 thereof.
16It cannotH3808 be valued with the goldH3800 of OphirH211, with the preciousH3368 onyxH7718, or the sapphireH5601.
17GoldH2091 and glassH2137 cannotH3808 equal it: neitherH3808 shall the exchangeH8545 thereof be jewelsH3627 of fineH6337 goldH2091.
18NoH3808 mentionH2142 shall be made of coralH7215 or of crystalH1378: yea, the price of wisdomH2451 is above rubies.
19The topazH6357 of EthiopiaH3568 shall notH3808 equal it, neitherH3808 shall it be valued with pureH2889 goldH3800.
20Whence then cometh wisdomH2451? and whereH335 is the placeH4725 of understandingH998?
21Seeing it is hidH5641 from the eyesH5869 of allH3605 livingH2416, and kept closeH5956 from the fowls of the air.
22DestructionH11 and DeathH4194 sayH559, WeH8085 have heardH8085 a rumour thereof with our earsH241.
23GodH430 understandeth the wayH1870 thereof, and he knoweth the placeH4725 thereof.
