Job 28:20-23

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰ “Where then does wisdom come from?
    And where is the place of understanding?
²¹ It is hidden from the eyes of all living,
    and concealed from the birds of the air.
²² Abaddon and Death say,
    ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’

²³ “God understands the way to it,
    and he knows its place.
