Job 28:25-28
The Message
23-28 “God alone knows the way to Wisdom,
he knows the exact place to find it.
He knows where everything is on earth,
he sees everything under heaven.
After he commanded the winds to blow
and measured out the waters,
Arranged for the rain
and set off explosions of thunder and lightning,
He focused on Wisdom,
made sure it was all set and tested and ready.
Then he addressed the human race: ‘Here it is!
Fear-of-the-Lord—that’s Wisdom,
and Insight means shunning evil.’”
Job 28:25-28
New International Version
25 When he established the force of the wind
and measured out the waters,(A)
26 when he made a decree for the rain(B)
and a path for the thunderstorm,(C)
27 then he looked at wisdom and appraised it;
he confirmed it and tested it.(D)
28 And he said to the human race,
“The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom,
and to shun evil(E) is understanding.”(F)
