Job 28:23-28

New International Version

²³ God understands the way to it
    and he alone^(A) knows where it dwells,^(B)
24 for he views the ends of the earth^(C)
    and sees everything under the heavens.^(D)
25 When he established the force of the wind
    and measured out the waters,^(E)
26 when he made a decree for the rain^(F)
    and a path for the thunderstorm,^(G)
27 then he looked at wisdom and appraised it;
    he confirmed it and tested it.^(H)
28 And he said to the human race,
    “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom,
    and to shun evil^(I) is understanding.”^(J)
