Job 28

1 For there for silver [is] a mine and a place for gold [which] people refine.

2 Iron from [the] dust it is taken and stone someone pours out copper.

3 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 with a sojourner forgotten from foot they hang down away from humankind they swing.

5 [the] earth From it it comes forth food and under it it is turned over like fire.

6 [are] a place of Sapphire stones its and dust of gold [belong] to it.

7 [the] path Not it knows it a bird of prey and not it catches sight of it [the] eye of a hawk.

8 Not they tread it [the] sons of pride not it passes by on it a lion.

9 On the flint he stretches out hand his he overturns from [the] root mountains.

10 In the rocks shafts he splits open and every precious thing it sees eye his.

11 From weeping rivers he restrains and secret her he brings out light.

12 And wisdom from where? will it be found and where? this [is the] place of understanding.

13 Not he knows humankind valuation its and not it is found in [the] land of the living [ones].

14 [the] deep It says not [is] in me it and [the] sea it says not [it] [is] with me.

15 Not it will be given fine gold for it and not it will be weighed out silver price its.

16 Not it will be paid in [the] gold of Ophir in onyx precious and sapphire.

17 Not it will be comparable to it gold and glass and [is] exchange its a vessel of pure gold.

18 Corals and crystal not it is remembered and [the] price of wisdom [is] more than pearls.

19 Not it will be comparable to it topaz of Cush in gold pure not it will be paid.

20 And wisdom from where? does it come and where? this [is the] place of understanding.

21 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 Abaddon and death they say with ears our we have heard report its.

23 God he understands way its and he he knows place its.

24 For he to [the] ends of the earth he looks under all the heavens he sees.

25 To make for the wind weight and [the] waters he has measured with a measure.

26 When made he for the rain a decree and a path for [the] storm of thunder claps.

27 Then he saw it and he recounted it he established it and also he examined it.

28 And he said - to humankind here! [the] fear of [the] Lord that [is] wisdom and to turn from evil [is] understanding.
