18_JOB_28_01 surely there Is A vein for the silver , And A place for gold [ where ] they fine [ it ] .
18_JOB_28_02 iron Is taken out of the earth , And brass [ Is ] molten [ out of ] the stone .
18_JOB_28_03 he setteth an end to darkness , And searcheth out all perfection : the stones of darkness , And the shadow of death .
18_JOB_28_04 the flood breaketh out from the inhabitant ; [ even the waters ] forgotten of the foot : they are dried up , they are gone away from men .
18_JOB_28_05 [ as for ] the earth , out of it cometh bread : And under it Is turned up as it were fire .
18_JOB_28_06 the stones of it [ are ] the place of sapphires : And it hath dust of gold .
18_JOB_28_07 [ there Is ] A path which no fowl knoweth , And which the vulture's eye hath not seen :
18_JOB_28_08 the lion's whelps have not trodden it , nor the fierce lion passed by it .
18_JOB_28_09 he putteth forth his hand upon the rock ; he overturneth the mountains by the roots .
18_JOB_28_10 he cutteth out rivers among the rocks ; And his eye seeth every precious thing .
18_JOB_28_11 he bindeth the floods from overflowing ; And [ the thing that Is ] hid bringeth he forth to light .
18_JOB_28_12 but where shall wisdom be found ? And where [ Is ] the place of understanding ?
18_JOB_28_13 man knoweth not the price thereof ; neither Is it found in the land of the living .
18_JOB_28_14 the depth saith , it [ Is ] not in me : And the sea saith , [ it Is ] not with me .
18_JOB_28_15 it cannot be gotten for gold , neither shall silver be weighed [ for ] the price thereof .
18_JOB_28_16 it cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir , with the precious onyx , or the sapphire .
18_JOB_28_17 the gold And the crystal cannot equal it : And the exchange of it [ shall not be for ] jewels of fine gold .
18_JOB_28_18 no mention shall be made of coral , or of pearls : for the price of wisdom [ Is ] above rubies .
18_JOB_28_19 the topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it , neither shall it be valued with pure gold .
18_JOB_28_20 whence Then cometh wisdom ? And where [ Is ] the place of understanding ?
18_JOB_28_21 seeing it Is hid from the eyes of all living , And kept close from the fowls of the air .
18_JOB_28_22 destruction And death say , we have heard the fame thereof with our ears .
18_JOB_28_23 God understandeth the way thereof , And he knoweth the place thereof .
18_JOB_28_24 for he looketh to the ends of the earth , [ And ] seeth under the whole heaven ;
18_JOB_28_25 to make the weight for the winds ; And he weigheth the waters by measure .
18_JOB_28_26 when he made A decree for the rain , And A way for the lightning of the thunder :
18_JOB_28_27 Then did he see it , And declare it ; he prepared it , yea , And searched it out .
18_JOB_28_28 And unto man he said , behold , the Fear of the LORD , that [ Is ] wisdom ; And to Depart from evil [ Is ] understanding .
