updv@Job:28:1 @ Surely there is a mine for silver, And a place for gold which they refine.

updv@Job:28:2 @ Iron is taken out of the earth, And copper is molten out of the stone.

updv@Job:28:3 @ [Man] sets an end to darkness, And searches out, to the furthest bound, The stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.

updv@Job:28:4 @ He breaks open a shaft away from where men sojourn; They are forgotten of the foot; They hang far from common man, they swing to and fro.

updv@Job:28:5 @ As for the earth, out of it comes bread; And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.

updv@Job:28:6 @ Its stones are the place of sapphires, And it has dust of gold.

updv@Job:28:7 @ That path no bird of prey knows, Neither has the falcon's eye seen it:

updv@Job:28:8 @ The proud beasts haven't trodden it, Nor has the fierce lion passed by it.

updv@Job:28:9 @ He puts forth his hand on the flinty rock; He overturns the mountains by the roots.

updv@Job:28:10 @ He cuts out channels among the rocks; And his eye sees every precious thing.

updv@Job:28:11 @ He dams up the sources of the rivers; And the thing that is hid he brings forth to light.

updv@Job:28:12 @ But where will wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

updv@Job:28:13 @ Common man doesn't know its price; Neither is it found in the land of the living.

updv@Job:28:14 @ The deep says, It is not in me; And the sea says, It is not with me.

updv@Job:28:15 @ It can't be obtained for gold, Neither will silver be weighed for its price.

updv@Job:28:16 @ It can't be valued with the gold of Ophir, With the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

updv@Job:28:17 @ Gold and glass can't equal it, Neither will it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.

updv@Job:28:18 @ No mention will be made of coral or of crystal: Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.

updv@Job:28:19 @ The topaz of Ethiopia will not equal it, Neither will it be valued with pure gold.

updv@Job:28:20 @ From where then comes wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?

updv@Job:28:21 @ Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, And kept close from the birds of the heavens.

updv@Job:28:22 @ Destruction and Death say, We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.

updv@Job:28:23 @ God understands its way, And he knows its place.

updv@Job:28:24 @ For he looks to the ends of the earth, And sees under the whole heaven;

updv@Job:28:25 @ To make a weight for the wind: Yes, he metes out the waters by measure.

updv@Job:28:26 @ When he made a decree for the rain, And a way for the lightning of the thunder;

updv@Job:28:27 @ Then he saw it, and declared it; He established it, yes, and searched it out.

updv@Job:28:28 @ And to man he said, Look, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.
