Verse
Job - ch 28 v 1 - 20
- 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 melted out of the stone.
- He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shades of death.
- The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant: even the waters forgotten by the foot: they are dried up, they have 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 vultur's eye hath not seen:
- The lion's 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 he bringeth forth to light.
- But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
- Man knoweth not the price of it; 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 obtained for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price of it.
- 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, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
- The topaz of Cush shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
- Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
