Job 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 vein 4161 for the silver, 3701 and a place 4725 for gold 2091 [where] they fine 2212 z8799 [it].

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

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

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

 28:5 [As for] the earth, 776 out of x4480 it cometh 3318 z8799 bread: 3899 and under x8478 it is turned up 2015 z8738 as it were x3644 fire. 784

 28:6 The stones 68 of it [are] the place 4725 of sapphires: 5601 and it hath dust 6083 of gold. 2091

 28:7 [There is] a path 5410 which no x3808 fowl 5861 knoweth, 3045 z8804 and which the vulture's 344 eye 5869 hath not x3808 seen: 7805 z8804

 28:8 The lion's 7830 whelps 1121 have not x3808 trodden 1869 z8689 it, nor x3808 the fierce lion 7826 passed 5710 z8804 by x5921 it.

 28:9 He putteth forth 7971 z8804 his hand 3027 upon the rock; 2496 he overturneth 2015 z8804 the mountains 2022 by the roots. 8328 x4480

 28:10 He cutteth out 1234 z8765 rivers 2975 among the rocks; 6697 and his eye 5869 seeth 7200 z8804 every x3605 precious thing. 3366

 28:11 He bindeth 2280 z8765 the floods 5104 from overflowing; 1065 x4480 and [the thing that is] hid 8587 bringeth he forth 3318 z8686 to light. 216

 28:12 But where 370 x4480 shall wisdom 2451 be found? 4672 z8735 and where x335 x2088 [is] the place 4725 of understanding? 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 living. 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 gold, y5458 x2091 x5462 x8478 neither x3808 shall silver 3701 be weighed 8254 z8735 [for] the price 4242 thereof.

 28:16 It cannot x3808 be valued 5541 z8792 with the gold 3800 of Ophir, 211 with the precious 3368 onyx, 7718 or the sapphire. 5601

 28:17 The gold 2091 and the crystal 2137 cannot x3808 equal 6186 z8799 it: and the exchange 8545 of it [shall not be for] jewels 3627 of fine gold. 6337

 28:18 No x3808 mention y2142 z8735 shall be made x2142 of coral, 7215 or of pearls: 1378 for the price 4901 of wisdom 2451 [is] above rubies. 6443 x4480

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

 28:20 Whence 370 x4480 then cometh 935 z8799 wisdom? 2451 and where x335 x2088 [is] the place 4725 of understanding? 998

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

 28:22 Destruction 11 and death 4194 say, 559 z8804 We have heard 8085 z8804 the fame 8088 thereof with our ears. 241

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

 28:24 For x3588 he x1931 looketh 5027 z8686 to the ends 7098 of the earth, 776 [and] seeth 7200 z8799 under x8478 the whole x3605 heaven; 8064

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

 28:26 When he made 6213 z8800 a decree 2706 for the rain, 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 unto man 120 he said, 559 z8799 Behold, x2005 the fear 3374 of the Lord, 136 that x1931 [is] wisdom; 2451 and to depart 5493 z8800 from evil 7451 x4480 [is] understanding. 998
