Job Continues: Where Is Wisdom?
|
||||
|
||||
# Chapter 28
|
||||
1. "Surely there is a mine for silver,
|
||||
and a place for gold that they refine.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Iron is taken out of the earth,
|
||||
and copper is smelted from the ore.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Man puts an end to darkness
|
||||
and searches out to the farthest limit
|
||||
the ore in gloom and deep darkness.
|
||||
|
||||
4. He opens shafts in a valley away from where anyone lives;
|
||||
they are forgotten by travelers;
|
||||
they hang in the air, far away from mankind; they swing to and fro.
|
||||
|
||||
5. As for the earth, out of it comes bread,
|
||||
but underneath it is turned up as by fire.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Its stones are the place of sapphires,
|
||||
and it has dust of gold.
|
||||
|
||||
7. "That path no bird of prey knows,
|
||||
and the falcon's eye has not seen it.
|
||||
|
||||
8. The proud beasts have not trodden it;
|
||||
the lion has not passed over it.
|
||||
|
||||
9. "Man puts his hand to the flinty rock
|
||||
and overturns mountains by the roots.
|
||||
|
||||
10. He cuts out channels in the rocks,
|
||||
and his eye sees every precious thing.
|
||||
|
||||
11. He dams up the streams so that they do not trickle,
|
||||
and the thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
|
||||
|
||||
12. "But where shall wisdom be found?
|
||||
And where is the place of understanding?
|
||||
|
||||
13. Man does not know its worth,
|
||||
and it is not found in the land of the living.
|
||||
|
||||
14. The deep says, 'It is not in me,'
|
||||
and the sea says, 'It is not with me.'
|
||||
|
||||
15. It cannot be bought for gold,
|
||||
and silver cannot be weighed as its price.
|
||||
|
||||
16. It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,
|
||||
in precious onyx or 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 coral or of crystal;
|
||||
the price of wisdom is above pearls.
|
||||
|
||||
19. 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 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 apportioned 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 turn away from evil is understanding.'"
