Job 28:20-28
New King James Version
20 “From(A) where then does wisdom come?
And where is the place of understanding?
21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living,
And concealed from the birds of the [a]air.
22 (B)Destruction[b] and Death say,
‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.’
23 God understands its way,
And He knows its place.
24 For He looks to the ends of the earth,
And (C)sees under the whole heavens,
25 (D)To establish a weight for the wind,
And apportion the waters by measure.
26 When He (E)made a law for the rain,
And a path for the thunderbolt,
27 Then He saw [c]wisdom and declared it;
He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out.
28 And to man He said,
‘Behold, (F)the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
And to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”
