Book 18 : JOB - Chapter 028

028:001

Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone

028:002

He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death

028:003

The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men

028:004

As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire

028:005

The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold

028:006

There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen

028:007

The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it

028:008

He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots

028:009

He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing

028:010

He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light

028:011

But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding

028:012

Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living

028:013

The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me

028:014

It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof

028:015

It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire

028:016

The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold

028:017

No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies

028:018

The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold

028:019

Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding

028:020

Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air

028:021

Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears

028:022

God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof

028:023

For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven

028:024

To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure

028:025

When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder

028:026

Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out

028:027

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding
