Iob 28

1 There is a knowledge of natural things, 12 but wisdom is an excellent gift of God.

 28:1 ¶ Surely y3426 x3588 there is x3426 a veine 4161 for the siluer, 3701 and a place 4725 for golde 2091 [where] they fine 2212 z8799 [it].

 28:2 Iron 1270 is taken 3947 z8714 out of the earth, 6083 x4480 and brasse 5154 is molten 6694 z8799 [out] of the stone. 68

 28:3 Hee setteth 7760 z8804 an ende 7093 to darkenesse, 2822 and searcheth out 2713 z8802 x1931 all x3605 perfection: 8503 the stones 68 of darkenesse 652 and the shadow of death. 6757

 28:4 The floud 5158 breaketh out 6555 z8804 from x4480 x5973 the inhabitant; 1481 z8802 euen the [waters] forgotten 7911 z8737 of x4480 the foote: 7272 they are dried vp, 1809 z8804 they are gone away 5128 z8804 from men. 582 x4480

 28:5 As for the earth, 776 out of x4480 it commeth 3318 z8799 bread: 3899 and vnder x8478 it, is turned vp 2015 z8738 as it were x3644 fire. 784

 28:6 The stones 68 of it are the place 4725 of Saphires: 5601 and it hath dust 6083 of golde. 2091

 28:7 [There is] a path 5410 which no x3808 foule 5861 knoweth, 3045 z8804 and which the vulturs 344 eye 5869 hath not x3808 seene. 7805 z8804

 28:8 The lyons 7830 whelps 1121 haue not x3808 troden 1869 z8689 it, nor x3808 the fierce lyon 7826 passed 5710 z8804 by x5921 it.

 28:9 Hee putteth foorth 7971 z8804 his hand 3027 vpon the rocke; 2496 hee ouerturneth 2015 z8804 the mountaines 2022 by the rootes. 8328 x4480

 28:10 Hee cutteth out 1234 z8765 riuers 2975 among the rockes, 6697 and his eye 5869 seeth 7200 z8804 euery x3605 precious thing. 3366

 28:11 He bindeth 2280 z8765 the flouds 5104 from ouerflowing, 1065 x4480 and the thing that is hid, 8587 bringeth he foorth 3318 z8686 to light. 216

 28:12 But where 370 x4480 shall wisedome 2451 bee found? 4672 z8735 And where x335 x2088 [is] the place 4725 of vnderstanding? 998

 28:13 Man 582 knoweth 3045 z8804 not x3808 the price 6187 thereof neither x3808 is it found 4672 z8735 in the land 776 of the liuing. 2416

 28:14 The depth 8415 saith, 559 z8804 It x1931 is not x3808 in me: and the sea 3220 saith, 559 z8804 It is not x369 with x5978 me.

 28:15 It cannot x3808 be gotten 5414 z8714 for golde, y5458 x2091 x5462 x8478 neither x3808 shall siluer 3701 be weighed 8254 z8735 [for] the price 4242 thereof.

 28:16 It cannot x3808 be valued 5541 z8792 with the golde 3800 of Ophir, 211 with the precious 3368 Onix, 7718 or the Saphire. 5601

 28:17 The golde 2091 and the chrystall 2137 cannot x3808 equall 6186 z8799 it: and the exchange 8545 of it [shall not be for] iewels 3627 of fine golde. 6337

 28:18 No x3808 mention y2142 z8735 shalbe made x2142 of Corall, 7215 or of Pearles: 1378 for the price 4901 of wisedome 2451 [is] aboue Rubies. 6443 x4480

 28:19 The Topaze 6357 of Ethiopia 3568 shall not x3808 equall 6186 z8799 it, neither x3808 shall it be valued 5541 z8792 with pure 2889 golde. 3800

 28:20 Whence 370 x4480 then commeth 935 z8799 wisedome? 2451 and where x335 x2088 [is] the place 4725 of vnderstanding? 998

 28:21 Seeing it is hid 5956 z8738 from the eyes 5869 x4480 of all x3605 liuing, 2416 and kept close 5641 z8738 from the foules 5775 x4480 of the ayre. 8064

 28:22 Destruction 11 and death 4194 say, 559 z8804 Wee haue heard 8085 z8804 the fame 8088 thereof with our eares. 241

 28:23 God 430 vnderstandeth 995 z8689 the way 1870 thereof, and he x1931 knoweth 3045 z8804 x853 the place 4725 thereof.

 28:24 For x3588 hee x1931 looketh 5027 z8686 to the endes 7098 of the earth, 776 [and] seeth 7200 z8799 vnder x8478 the whole x3605 heauen: 8064

 28:25 To make 6213 z8800 the weight 4948 for the windes, 7307 and he weigheth 8505 z8765 the waters 4325 by measure. 4060

 28:26 When hee made 6213 z8800 a decree 2706 for the raine, 4306 and a way 1870 for the lightning 2385 of the thunder: 6963

 28:27 Then x227 did he see 7200 z8804 it, and declare 5608 z8762 it, he prepared 3559 z8689 it, yea x1571 and searched it out. 2713 z8804

 28:28 And vnto man 120 he said, 559 z8799 Behold, x2005 the feare 3374 of the Lord, 136 that x1931 [is] wisedome, 2451 and to depart 5493 z8800 from euill, 7451 x4480 is vnderstanding. 998
