Job 28:20-28

20 From where, then, does wisdom come?
And where is the place of understanding?
21It is hidden from the eyes of aall living
and concealed from the birds of the air.
22 bAbaddon and Death say,
‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’
23 cGod understands the way to it,
and he knows its place.
24For he dlooks to the ends of the earth
and sees everything under the heavens.
25When he egave to the wind its weight
and apportioned the waters by measure,
26when he made a decree for the rain
and fa way for the lightning of the thunder,
27then he saw it and declared it;
he established it, and searched it out.
28And he said to man,
Behold, gthe fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
and to hturn away from evil is understanding.’”
