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
