Job 28

1Surely^H3426 there is a mine^H4161 for silver^H3701, And a place^H4725 for gold^H2091 which they refine^H2212. 2Iron^H1270 is taken^H3947 out of the earth^H6083, And copper^H5154 is molten^H6694 out of the stone^H68. 3 Man setteth^H7760 an end^H7093 to darkness^H2822, And searcheth out^H2713, to the furthest bound^H8503, The stones^H68 of obscurity^H652 and of thick darkness^H6757. 4He breaketh open^H6555 a shaft^H5158 away from where men sojourn^H1481; They are forgotten^H7911 of the foot^H7272; They hang^H1809 afar^H5128 from men^H582, they swing to and fro. 5As for the earth^H776, out of it cometh^H3318 bread^H3899; And underneath it is turned up^H2015 as it were by fire^H784. 6The stones^H68 thereof are the place^H4725 of sapphires^H5601, And it hath dust^H6083 of gold^H2091. 7That path^H5410 no bird^H5861 of prey knoweth^H3045, Neither hath the falcon's^H344 eye^H5869 seen^H7805 it: 8The proud^H7830 beasts^H1121 have not trodden^H1869 it, Nor hath the fierce lion^H7826 passed^H5710 thereby. 9He putteth forth^H7971 his hand^H3027 upon the flinty rock^H2496; He overturneth^H2015 the mountains^H2022 by the roots^H8328. 10He cutteth out^H1234 channels^H2975 among the rocks^H6697; And his eye^H5869 seeth^H7200 every precious thing^H3366. 11He bindeth^H2280 the streams^H5104 that they trickle^H1065 not; And the thing that is hid^H8587 bringeth he forth^H3318 to light^H216. 12But where^H370 shall wisdom^H2451 be found^H4672? And where is the place^H4725 of understanding^H998? 13Man^H582 knoweth^H3045 not the price^H6187 thereof; Neither is it found^H4672 in the land^H776 of the living^H2416. 14The deep^H8415 saith^H559, It is not in me; And the sea^H3220 saith^H559, It is not with me. 15It cannot be gotten^H5414 for gold^H5458, Neither shall silver^H3701 be weighed^H8254 for the price^H4242 thereof. 16It cannot be valued^H5541 with the gold^H3800 of Ophir^H211, With the precious^H3368 onyx^H7718, or the sapphire^H5601. 17Gold^H2091 and glass^H2137 cannot equal^H6186 it, Neither shall it be exchanged^H8545 for jewels^H3627 of fine gold^H6337. 18No mention^H2142 shall be made of coral^H7215 or of crystal^H1378: Yea, the price^H4901 of wisdom^H2451 is above rubies^H6443. 19The topaz^H6357 of Ethiopia^H3568 shall not equal^H6186 it, Neither shall it be valued^H5541 with pure^H2889 gold^H3800. 20Whence^H370 then cometh^H935 wisdom^H2451? And where is the place^H4725 of understanding^H998? 21Seeing it is hid^H5956 from the eyes^H5869 of all living^H2416, And kept close^H5641 from the birds^H5775 of the heavens^H8064. 22Destruction^H11 and Death^H4194 say^H559, We have heard^H8085 a rumor^H8088 thereof with our ears^H241. 23God^H430 understandeth^H995 the way^H1870 thereof, And he knoweth^H3045 the place^H4725 thereof. 24For he looketh^H5027 to the ends^H7098 of the earth^H776, And seeth^H7200 under the whole heaven^H8064; 25To make^H6213 a weight^H4948 for the wind^H7307: Yea, he meteth^H8505 out the waters^H4325 by measure^H4060. 26When he made^H6213 a decree^H2706 for the rain^H4306, And a way^H1870 for the lightning^H2385 of the thunder^H6963; 27Then did he see^H7200 it, and declare^H5608 it; He established^H3559 it, yea, and searched it out^H2713. 28And unto man^H120 he said^H559, Behold, the fear^H3374 of the Lord^H136, that is wisdom^H2451; And to depart^H5493 from evil^H7451 is understanding^H998.
