ylt@Job:28:1 @Surely there is for silver a source, And a place for the gold they refine;

ylt@Job:28:2 @Iron from the dust is taken, And [from] the firm stone brass.

ylt@Job:28:3 @An end hath he set to darkness, And to all perfection he is searching, A stone of darkness and death-shade.

ylt@Job:28:4 @A stream hath broken out from a sojourner, Those forgotten of the foot, They were low, from man they wandered.

ylt@Job:28:5 @The earth! from it cometh forth bread, And its under-part is turned like fire.

ylt@Job:28:6 @A place of the sapphire [are] its stones, And it hath dust of gold.

ylt@Job:28:7 @A path -- not known it hath a ravenous fowl, Nor scorched it hath an eye of the kite,

ylt@Job:28:8 @Nor trodden it have the sons of pride, Not passed over it hath the fierce lion.

ylt@Job:28:9 @Against the flint he sent forth his hand, He overturned from the root mountains.

ylt@Job:28:10 @Among rocks, brooks he hath cleaved, And every precious thing hath his eye seen.

ylt@Job:28:11 @From overflowing floods he hath bound, And the hidden thing bringeth out [to] light.

ylt@Job:28:12 @And the wisdom -- whence is it found? And where [is] this, the place of understanding?

ylt@Job:28:13 @Man hath not known its arrangement, Nor is it found in the land of the living.

ylt@Job:28:14 @The deep hath said, 'It [is] not in me,' And the sea hath said, 'It is not with me.'

ylt@Job:28:15 @Gold is not given for it, Nor is silver weighed -- its price.

ylt@Job:28:16 @It is not valued with pure gold of Ophir, With precious onyx and sapphire,

ylt@Job:28:17 @Not equal it do gold and crystal, Nor [is] its exchange a vessel of fine gold.

ylt@Job:28:18 @Corals and pearl are not remembered, The acquisition of wisdom [is] above rubies.

ylt@Job:28:19 @Not equal it doth the topaz of Cush, With pure gold it is not valued.

ylt@Job:28:20 @And the wisdom -- whence doth it come? And where [is] this, the place of understanding?

ylt@Job:28:21 @It hath been hid from the eyes of all living. And from the fowl of the heavens It hath been hidden.

ylt@Job:28:22 @Destruction and death have said: 'With our ears we have heard its fame.'

ylt@Job:28:23 @God hath understood its way, And He hath known its place.

ylt@Job:28:24 @For He to the ends of the earth doth look, Under the whole heavens He doth see,

ylt@Job:28:25 @To make for the wind a weight, And the waters He meted out in measure.

ylt@Job:28:26 @In His making for the rain a limit, And a way for the brightness of the voices,

ylt@Job:28:27 @Then He hath seen and declareth it, He hath prepared it, and also searched it out,

ylt@Job:28:28 @And He saith to man: -- 'Lo, fear of the Lord, that [is] wisdom, And to turn from evil [is] understanding.'
