1 "Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine.
For there for silver [is] a mine and a place for gold [which] people refine.
2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted out of the ore.
Iron from [the] dust it is taken and stone someone pours out copper.
3 Man sets an end to darkness, and searches out, to the furthest bound, the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
An end - someone puts to the darkness and to every outermost part he [is] searching for [the] stone of gloom and deep darkness.
4 He breaks open a shaft away from where people live. They are forgotten by the foot. They hang far from men, they swing back and forth.
He breaks open a shaft - away from with a sojourner forgotten from foot they hang down away from humankind they swing.
5 As for the earth, out of it comes bread; Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
[the] earth From it it comes forth food and under it it is turned over like fire.
6 Sapphires come from its rocks. It has dust of gold.
[are] a place of Sapphire stones its and dust of gold [belong] to it.
7 That path no bird of prey knows, neither has the falcon's eye seen it.
[the] path Not it knows it a bird of prey and not it catches sight of it [the] eye of a hawk.
8 The proud animals have not trodden it, nor has the fierce lion passed by there.
Not they tread it [the] sons of pride not it passes by on it a lion.
9 He puts forth his hand on the flinty rock, and he overturns the mountains by the roots.
On the flint he stretches out hand his he overturns from [the] root mountains.
10 He cuts out channels among the rocks. His eye sees every precious thing.
In the rocks shafts he splits open and every precious thing it sees eye his.
11 He binds the streams that they do not trickle. The thing that is hidden he brings forth to light.
From weeping rivers he restrains and secret her he brings out light.
12 "But where shall wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?
And wisdom from where? will it be found and where? this [is the] place of understanding.
13 Man doesn't know its price; Neither is it found in the land of the living.
Not he knows humankind valuation its and not it is found in [the] land of the living [ones].
14 The deep says, 'It isn't in me.' The sea says, 'It isn't with me.'
[the] deep It says not [is] in me it and [the] sea it says not [it] [is] with me.
15 It can't be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for its price.
Not it will be given fine gold for it and not it will be weighed out silver price its.
16 It can't be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
Not it will be paid in [the] gold of Ophir in onyx precious and sapphire.
17 Gold and glass can't equal it, neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
Not it will be comparable to it gold and glass and [is] exchange its a vessel of pure gold.
18 No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal. Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
Corals and crystal not it is remembered and [the] price of wisdom [is] more than pearls.
19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
Not it will be comparable to it topaz of Cush in gold pure not it will be paid.
20 From where then comes wisdom? Where is the place of understanding?
And wisdom from where? does it come and where? this [is the] place of understanding.
21 Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the birds of the sky.
And it has been concealed from [the] eyes of every living [thing] and from [the] bird[s] of the heavens it has been hidden.
22 Destruction and Death say, 'We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.'
Abaddon and death they say with ears our we have heard report its.
23 "God understands its way, and he knows its place.
God he understands way its and he he knows place its.
24 For he looks to the farthest parts of the earth, and sees under the whole sky.
For he to [the] ends of the earth he looks under all the heavens he sees.
25 He establishes the force of the wind. Yes, he measures out the waters by measure.
To make for the wind weight and [the] waters he has measured with a measure.
26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder;
When made he for the rain a decree and a path for [the] storm of thunder claps.
27 then he saw it, and declared it. He established it, yes, and searched it out.
Then he saw it and he recounted it he established it and also he examined it.
28 To man he said, 'Look, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.'"
And he said - to humankind here! [the] fear of [the] Lord that [is] wisdom and to turn from evil [is] understanding.
