Job 28:12-23
New International Version
12 But where can wisdom be found?(A)
Where does understanding dwell?(B)
13 No mortal comprehends its worth;(C)
it cannot be found in the land of the living.(D)
14 The deep(E) says, “It is not in me”;
the sea(F) says, “It is not with me.”
15 It cannot be bought with the finest gold,
nor can its price be weighed out in silver.(G)
16 It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir,(H)
with precious onyx or lapis lazuli.(I)
17 Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it,(J)
nor can it be had for jewels of gold.(K)
18 Coral(L) and jasper(M) are not worthy of mention;
the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.(N)
19 The topaz(O) of Cush(P) cannot compare with it;
it cannot be bought with pure gold.(Q)
20 Where then does wisdom come from?
Where does understanding dwell?(R)
21 It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing,
concealed even from the birds in the sky.(S)
22 Destruction[a](T) and Death(U) say,
“Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.”
23 God understands the way to it
and he alone(V) knows where it dwells,(W)

The Offer of Life or Death
11 Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.(A) 12 It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven(B) to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”(C) 13 Nor is it beyond the sea,(D) so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”(E) 14 No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.(F)
