ယောဘ 28
Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine.
Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is molten out of the stone.
3 ၃ လူသည် မှောင်မိုက် ကို ပျောက်စေတတ်၏။ အဆုံး တိုင်အောင် ၎င်း မှောင်မိုက် ကျောက် ၊ သေမင်း အရိပ်တိုင်အောင်၎င်း လိုက်၍ စစ် တတ်၏။
Man sets an end to darkness, and searches out to the furthest bound the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
He breaks open a shaft away from where men sojourn, paths forgotten by the foot. They hang afar from men; they swing to and fro.
As for the earth, out of it comes bread, and underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and it has dust of gold.
No bird of prey knows that path, nor has the falcon's eye seen it.
The proud beasts have not trodden it, nor has the fierce lion passed thereby.
He puts forth his hand upon the flinty rock. He overturns the mountains by the roots.
He cuts out channels among the rocks, and his eye sees every precious thing.
He binds the streams that they not trickle. And the thing that is hid he brings forth to light.
But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
Man does not know the price of it, nor is it found in the land of the living.
The deep says, It is not in me. And the sea says, It is not with me.
It cannot be gotten for gold, nor shall silver be weighed for the price of it.
It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
Gold and glass cannot equal it, nor shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal. Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, nor shall it be valued with pure gold.
Where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding?
21 ၂၁ အသက် ရှင်သော သတ္တဝါတစုံတယောက်မျှ ကြည့် ၍မမြင်နိုင်။ မိုဃ်း ကောင်းကင်ငှက် တို့သည် ရှာ ၍ မတွေ့နိုင်။
Since it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept closed from the birds of the heavens.
Destruction and Death say, We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.
God understands the way of it, and he knows the place of it.

For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole heaven,
25 ၂၅ လေ ကိုချိန် လျက်၊ ရေ ကိုလည်းခြင် လျက်၊ မြေကြီး စွန်း တိုင်အောင် ကြည့်ရှု ၍၊ ကောင်းကင် အောက် ၌ရှိသမျှ တို့ကို မြင် တော်မူ၏။
to make a weight for the wind. Yea, he distributes the waters by measure.
When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder,
then he saw it, and declared it. He established it, yea, and searched it out.
28 ၂၈ လူ တို့အား လည်း ထာဝရ ဘုရားကို ကြောက်ရွံ့ ခြင်းသည် ပညာ ဖြစ်ကြောင်းနှင့် ၊ ဒုစရိုက် ကို ရှောင် ခြင်း သည် ဉာဏ် ဖြစ်ကြောင်းကို မိန့် တော်မူပြီဟုမြွက်ဆို၏။
And to man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.
