Job 28:13-28
English Standard Version
Job 28:13-28
English Standard Version
13 Man does not know its worth,
and it is not found in (A)the land of the living.
14 (B)The deep says, ‘It is not in me,’
and the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
15 It (C)cannot be bought for gold,
and silver cannot be weighed as its price.
16 It cannot be valued in (D)the gold of (E)Ophir,
in precious (F)onyx or (G)sapphire.
17 Gold and glass cannot equal it,
nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
18 No mention shall be made of (H)coral or of crystal;
the price of wisdom is above (I)(J)pearls.
19 (K)The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it,
nor can it be valued in pure gold.
20 “From where, then, does wisdom come?
And where is the place of understanding?
21 It is hidden from the eyes of (L)all living
and concealed from the birds of the air.
22 (M)Abaddon and Death say,
‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’
23 (N)“God understands the way to it,
and he knows its place.
24 For he (O)looks to the ends of the earth
and sees everything under the heavens.
25 When he (P)gave to the wind its weight
and apportioned the waters by measure,
26 when he made a decree for the rain
and (Q)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, (R)the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
and to (S)turn away from evil is understanding.’”
Job 28:13-28
New International Version
Job 28:13-28
New International Version
13 No mortal comprehends its worth;(A)
it cannot be found in the land of the living.(B)
14 The deep(C) says, “It is not in me”;
the sea(D) says, “It is not with me.”
15 It cannot be bought with the finest gold,
nor can its price be weighed out in silver.(E)
16 It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir,(F)
with precious onyx or lapis lazuli.(G)
17 Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it,(H)
nor can it be had for jewels of gold.(I)
18 Coral(J) and jasper(K) are not worthy of mention;
the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.(L)
19 The topaz(M) of Cush(N) cannot compare with it;
it cannot be bought with pure gold.(O)
20 Where then does wisdom come from?
Where does understanding dwell?(P)
21 It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing,
concealed even from the birds in the sky.(Q)
22 Destruction[a](R) and Death(S) say,
“Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.”
23 God understands the way to it
and he alone(T) knows where it dwells,(U)
24 for he views the ends of the earth(V)
and sees everything under the heavens.(W)
25 When he established the force of the wind
and measured out the waters,(X)
26 when he made a decree for the rain(Y)
and a path for the thunderstorm,(Z)
27 then he looked at wisdom and appraised it;
he confirmed it and tested it.(AA)
28 And he said to the human race,
“The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom,
and to shun evil(AB) is understanding.”(AC)
