Job 28:20-23
New International Version
20 Where then does wisdom come from?
Where does understanding dwell?(A)
21 It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing,
concealed even from the birds in the sky.(B)
22 Destruction[a](C) and Death(D) say,
“Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.”
23 God understands the way to it
and he alone(E) knows where it dwells,(F)

New International Version
17 Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.(A) 18 He urged them to plead for mercy(B) from the God of heaven(C) concerning this mystery,(D) so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 During the night the mystery(E) was revealed to Daniel in a vision.(F) Then Daniel praised the God of heaven(G) 20 and said:
“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;(H)
wisdom and power(I) are his.
21 He changes times and seasons;(J)
he deposes(K) kings and raises up others.(L)
He gives wisdom(M) to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.(N)
22 He reveals deep and hidden things;(O)
he knows what lies in darkness,(P)
and light(Q) dwells with him.

17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
