1Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.studyinterlinear
2Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.studyinterlinear
3He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.studyinterlinear
4The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.studyinterlinear
5As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.studyinterlinear
6The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.studyinterlinear
7There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen:studyinterlinear
8The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.studyinterlinear
9He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.studyinterlinear
10He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.studyinterlinear
11He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.studyinterlinear
12But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?studyinterlinear
13Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.studyinterlinear
14The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.studyinterlinear
15It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.studyinterlinear
16It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.studyinterlinear
17The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.studyinterlinear
18No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.studyinterlinear
19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.studyinterlinear
20Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?studyinterlinear
21Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.studyinterlinear
22Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.studyinterlinear
23God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.studyinterlinear
24For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;studyinterlinear
25To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.studyinterlinear
26When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:studyinterlinear
27Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.studyinterlinear
28And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.studyinterlinear
