bes@Job:28:1 @ For there is a place for the silver, whence it comes, and a place for the gold, whence it is refined.

bes@Job:28:2 @ For iron comes out of the earth, and brass is hewn out like stone.

bes@Job:28:3 @ He has set (note:)Possibly, «he searches out the limit of darkness,’ etc.(:note) a bound to darkness, and he searches out every limit: a stone is darkness, and the shadow of death.

bes@Job:28:4 @ There is a cutting off the torrent by reason of (note:)perhaps, «drought’(:note) dust: so they that forget the right way are weakened; they are removed from among men.

bes@Job:28:5 @ As for the earth, out of it shall come bread: under it has been turned up as it were fire.

bes@Job:28:6 @ Her stones are the place of the sapphire: and her dust supplies man with gold.

bes@Job:28:7 @ There is a path, the fowl has not known it, neither has the eye of the vulture seen it:

bes@Job:28:8 @ neither have the sons of the proud trodden it, a lion has not passed upon it.

bes@Job:28:9 @ He has stretched forth his hand on the sharp rock, and turned up mountains by the roots:

bes@Job:28:10 @ and he has (note:)Or, caused to break forth(:note) interrupted the whirlpools of rivers, and Alex. his eye mine eye has seen every precious thing.

bes@Job:28:11 @ And he has laid bare the depths of rivers, and has brought his power to light.

bes@Job:28:12 @ But whence has wisdom been discovered? and what is the place of knowledge?

bes@Job:28:13 @ A mortal has not known its way, neither indeed has it been discovered among men.

bes@Job:28:14 @ The depth said, It is not in me: and the sea said, It is not with me.

bes@Job:28:15 @ One shall not give fine gold instead of it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it.

bes@Job:28:16 @ Neither shall it be compared with gold of Sophir, with the precious onyx and sapphire.

bes@Job:28:17 @ Gold and crystal shall not be equalled to it, neither shall vessels of gold be its exchange.

bes@Job:28:18 @ Coral and fine pearl shall not be mentioned: but do thou esteem wisdom above the most precious things.

bes@Job:28:19 @ The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equalled to it; it shall not be compared with pure gold.

bes@Job:28:20 @ Whence then is wisdom found? and of what kind is the place of understanding?

bes@Job:28:21 @ It has escaped the notice of every man, and has been hidden from the birds of the sky.

bes@Job:28:22 @ Destruction and Death said, We have heard the report of it.

bes@Job:28:23 @ God has well ordered the way of it, and he knows the place of it.

bes@Job:28:24 @ For he surveys the whole earth under heaven, knowing the things in the earth:

bes@Job:28:25 @ all that he has made; the weight of the winds, the measures of the water.

bes@Job:28:26 @ When he made them, thus he saw and numbered them, and made a way for the pealing of the (note:)Some read fwnhv(:note) thunder.

bes@Job:28:27 @ Then he saw it, and declared it: he prepared it and traced it out.

bes@Job:28:28 @ And he said to man, Behold, godliness is wisdom: and to abstain from evil is understanding.
