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 .'
