Job 28:20-28
Legacy Standard Bible
20 (A)Where then does wisdom come from?
And where is the place of understanding?
21 Thus it is hidden from the eyes of all living
And concealed from the birds of the sky.
22 [a](B)Abaddon and Death say,
‘With our ears we have heard a report of it.’
23 “(C)God understands its way,
And He knows its place.
24 For He (D)looks to the ends of the earth
And sees everything under the heavens.
25 When He set (E)weight to the wind
And (F)meted out the waters by measure,
26 When He set a (G)limit for the rain
And a course for the (H)thunderbolt,
27 Then He saw it and recounted it;
He established it and also searched it out.
28 So He said to man, ‘Behold, the (I)fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
And to turn away from evil is understanding.’”

Job 28:20-28
Revised Standard Version
20 “Whence then comes wisdom?
And where is the place of understanding?
21 It is hid 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.
24 For he looks to the ends of the earth,
and sees everything under the heavens.
25 When he gave to the wind its weight,
and meted out the waters by measure;
26 when he made a decree for the rain,
and a way for the lightning of the thunder;
27 then he saw it and declared it;
he established it, and searched it out.
28 And he said to man,
‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
and to depart from evil is understanding.’”
