vw@Job:28:1 @ Surely there is a source for silver, and a place where gold is refined.

vw@Job:28:2 @ Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted from stone.

vw@Job:28:3 @ Man puts an end to darkness, and searches every recess for stone in the gloom and deep darkness.

vw@Job:28:4 @ The torrent breaks out far from the sojourners; forgotten by the feet of men, they hang and swing to and fro.

vw@Job:28:5 @ As for the earth, from it comes bread, but underneath it is churned up like fire;

vw@Job:28:6 @ its stones are the source of sapphires, and it contains gold dust.

vw@Job:28:7 @ It is a path no bird knows, nor has the falcons eye caught sight of it.

vw@Job:28:8 @ The young of the majestic beasts have not trodden it, nor has the lion passed by it.

vw@Job:28:9 @ He has put his hand on the rock; He has overturned the mountains by the roots.

vw@Job:28:10 @ He cuts out streams in the rocks, and his eye sees every precious thing.

vw@Job:28:11 @ He has bound up the streams from flowing; He brings what is hidden out into the light.

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

vw@Job:28:13 @ Man does not know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living.

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

vw@Job:28:15 @ It cannot be given for gold, nor can silver be weighed for its price.

vw@Job:28:16 @ It cannot be weighed against the gold of Ophir, the precious onyx or sapphire.

vw@Job:28:17 @ Neither gold nor crystal can be compared to it, nor can it be exchanged for articles of fine gold.

vw@Job:28:18 @ No mention shall be made of coral or crystal, for the acquiring of wisdom is above precious stones.

vw@Job:28:19 @ The topaz of Ethiopia cannot be compared to it, nor can it be weighed out for pure gold.

vw@Job:28:20 @ From where then does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?

vw@Job:28:21 @ It is hidden from the eyes of all living, and concealed from the birds of the heavens.

vw@Job:28:22 @ Abaddon and Death say, We have heard a report of it with our ears.

vw@Job:28:23 @ God understands its way, and He knows its place.

vw@Job:28:24 @ For He looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole heavens,

vw@Job:28:25 @ to appoint a weight for the wind, and mete out the waters by measure.

vw@Job:28:26 @ When He made a decree for the rain, and a path for the thunderbolt,

vw@Job:28:27 @ then He saw and declared it; He prepared it, yea, He searched it out.

vw@Job:28:28 @ And to man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.
