Book 18 Job Chapter 028
  | |
| 028:001 | Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.   |
| 028:002 | Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.   |
| 028:003 | He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.   |
| 028:004 | The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.   |
| 028:005 | As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.   |
| 028:006 | The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.   |
| 028:007 | There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:   |
| 028:008 | The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.   |
| 028:009 | He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.   |
| 028:010 | He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.   |
| 028:011 | He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.   |
| 028:012 | But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?   |
| 028:013 | Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.   |
| 028:014 | The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.   |
| 028:015 | It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.   |
| 028:016 | It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.   |
| 028:017 | The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.   |
| 028:018 | No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.   |
| 028:019 | The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.   |
| 028:020 | Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?   |
| 028:021 | Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.   |
| 028:022 | Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.   |
| 028:023 | God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.   |
| 028:024 | For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;   |
| 028:025 | To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.   |
| 028:026 | When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:   |
| 028:027 | Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.   |
| 028:028 | And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. |
