Job:28

Seeker Overlay ON

* Surely there is a vein for the silver , and a place for gold where they fine it . * Iron is taken out of the earth , and brass is molten out of the stone . * He setteth an end to darkness , and searcheth out all perfection : the stones of darkness , and the shadow of death . * The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant ; even the waters forgotten of the foot : they are dried up , they are gone away from men . * As for the earth , out of it cometh bread : and under it is turned up as it were fire . * The stones of it are the place of sapphires : and it hath dust of gold . * There is a path which no fowl knoweth , and which the vultures eye hath not seen : * The lions whelps have not trodden it , nor the fierce lion passed by it . * He putteth forth his hand upon the rock ; he overturneth the mountains by the roots . * He cutteth out rivers among the rocks ; and his eye seeth every precious thing . * He bindeth the floods from overflowing ; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light . * But where shall wisdom be found ? and where is the place of understanding ? * Man knoweth not the price thereof ; neither is it found in the land of the living . * The depth saith , It is not in me : and the sea saith , It is not with me . * It cannot be gotten for gold , neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof . * It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir , with the precious onyx , or the sapphire . * The gold and the crystal cannot equal it : and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold . * No mention shall be made of coral ra #mah #, or of pearls : for the price of wisdom is above rubies . * The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it , neither shall it be valued with pure gold . * Whence then cometh wisdom ? and where is the place of understanding ? * Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living , and kept close from the fowls of the air . * Destruction and death say , We have heard the fame thereof with our ears . * God understandeth the way thereof , and he knoweth the place thereof . * For he looketh to the ends of the earth , and seeth under the whole heaven ; * To make the weight for the winds ; and he weigheth the waters by measure . * When he made a decree for the rain , and a way for the lightning of the thunder : * Then did he see it , and declare it ; he prepared it , yea , and searched it out . * And unto man he said , Behold , the fear of the Lord , that is wisdom ; and to depart from evil is understanding .
