for gold which they refine. |

molten out of the stone. |

out, to the furthest bound, The stones of obscurity and of thick darkness. |

sojourn; They are forgotten of the foot; They hang afar from men, they swing to
and fro. |

the falcon's eye seen it: |

the fierce lion passed thereby. |

He overturneth the mountains by the roots. |

his eye seeth every precious thing. |
|
|

He bindeth the streams that they trickle not;
And the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light. |
|
|
|
| Job 28:12 |

But where shall wisdom be found? And where is
the place of understanding? |
|
|
|
| Job 28:13 |
|
Man knoweth not the price thereof; Neither is
it found in the land of the living. |
|

saith, It is not with me. |

It cannot be gotten for gold, Neither shall
silver be weighed for the price thereof. |

It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir,
With the precious onyx, or the sapphire. |
|

Gold and glass cannot equal it, Neither shall
it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold. |

No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal:
Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies. |

The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither
shall it be valued with pure gold. |
| |
|
|

Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living,
And kept close from the birds of the heavens. |

thereof with our ears. |

God understandeth the way thereof, And he knoweth
the place thereof. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 28:24 |
|
For he looketh to the ends of the earth, And
seeth under the whole heaven; |
|
|
|
|
| Job 28:25 |
|
To make a weight for the wind: Yea, he meteth
out the waters by measure. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 28:26 |
|
When he made a decree for the rain, And a way
for the lightning of the thunder; |
|
|
|
|
| Job 28:27 |
|
Then did he see it, and declare it; He established
it, yea, and searched it out. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 28:28 |
|
And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the
Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding. |
