Job Chapter 28
28:1 | Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold [where] they fine [it]. |
28:2 | Iron is taken out of the ![]() |
28:3 | He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of ![]() |
28:4 | The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; [even the ![]() ![]() |
28:5 | [As for] the ![]() ![]() |
28:6 | The stones of it [are] the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold. |
28:7 | [There is] a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture' eye hath not seen: |
28:8 | The lion' whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. |
28:9 | He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots. |
28:10 | He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing. |
28:11 | He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and [the thing that is] hid bringeth he forth to light. |
28:12 | But where shall wisdom be found? and where [is] the place of understanding? |
28:13 | Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. |
28:14 | The depth saith, It [is] not in me: and the sea saith, [It is] not with me. |
28:15 | It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed [for] the price thereof. |
28:16 | It cannot be valued with the ![]() |
28:17 | The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it [shall not be for] jewels of fine ![]() |
28:18 | No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom [is] above rubies. |
28:19 | The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. |
28:20 | Whence then cometh wisdom? and where [is] the place of understanding? |
28:21 | Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. |
28:22 | Destruction and ![]() |
28:23 | God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. |
28:24 | For he looketh to the ends of the ![]() |
28:25 | To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the ![]() |
28:26 | When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder: |
28:27 | Then did he ![]() ![]() |
28:28 | And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that [is] wisdom; and to depart from ![]() |
