Job 28:1 Surely3426 there is a vein4161{Or, a mine} for the silver,3701 and a place4725 for gold2091where they fine2212it.2 Iron1270 is taken3947 out of the earth,6083{Or, dust} and brass5154is molten6694outof the stone.683 He setteth7760 an end7093 to darkness,2822 and searcheth out2713 all perfection:8503 the stones68 of darkness,652 and the shadow of death.67574 The flood5158 breaketh out6555 from the inhabitant;1481eventhewaters forgotten7911 of the foot:7272 they are dried up,1809 they are gone away5128 from men.5825Asfor the earth,776 out of it cometh3318 bread:3899 and under it is turned up2015 as it were fire.7846 The stones68 of it are the place4725 of sapphires:5601 and it hath dust6083 of gold.2091{Or, gold ore}7Thereis a path5410 which no fowl5861 knoweth,3045 and which the vulture's344 eye5869 hath not seen:78058 The lion's7830 whelps1121 have not trodden1869 it, nor the fierce lion7826 passed5710 by it.
9 He putteth forth7971 his hand3027 upon the rock;2496{Or, flint} he overturneth2015 the mountains2022 by the roots.832810 He cutteth out1234 rivers2975 among the rocks;6697 and his eye5869 seeth7200 every precious thing.336611 He bindeth2280 the floods5104 from overflowing;1065{Heb. from weeping} and thethingthatis hid8587 bringeth he forth3318 to light.216
Job 28:12 But where370 shall wisdom2451 be found?4672 and where is the place4725 of understanding?99813 Man582 knoweth3045 not the price6187 thereof; neither is it found4672 in the land776 of the living.241614 The depth8415 saith,559 It is not in me: and the sea3220 saith,559Itis not with me.
15 It cannot be gotten5414 for gold,5458{Heb. fine gold shall not be given for it} neither shall silver3701 be weighed8254for the price4242 thereof.
16 It cannot be valued5541 with the gold3800 of Ophir,211 with the precious3368 onyx,7718 or the sapphire.560117 The gold2091 and the crystal2137 cannot equal6186 it: and the exchange8545 of it shallnotbefor jewels3627 of fine gold.6337{Or, vessel of fine gold}18 No mention2142 shall be made of coral,7215{Or, Ramoth} or of pearls:1378 for the price4901 of wisdom2451is above rubies.644319 The topaz6357 of Ethiopia3568 shall not equal6186 it, neither shall it be valued5541 with pure2889 gold.380020 Whence370 then cometh935 wisdom?2451 and where is the place4725 of understanding?99821 Seeing it is hid5956 from the eyes5869 of all living,2416 and kept close5641 from the fowls5775 of the air.8064{Or, heaven}22 Destruction11 and death4194 say,559 We have heard8085 the fame8088 thereof with our ears.24123 God430 understandeth995 the way1870 thereof, and he knoweth3045 the place4725 thereof.
24 For he looketh5027 to the ends7098 of the earth,776and seeth7200 under the whole heaven;806425 To make6213 the weight4948 for the winds;7307 and he weigheth8505 the waters4325 by measure.406026 When he made6213 a decree2706 for the rain,4306 and a way1870 for the lightning2385 of the thunder:696327 Then did he see7200 it, and declare5608 it;{Or, did number it} he prepared3559 it, yea, and searched it out.271328 And unto man120 he said,559 Behold, the fear3374 of the Lord,136 that is wisdom;2451 and to depart5493 from evil7451is understanding.998
