Job 28
Authorized King James Version (1769) with AI Commentary
1Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.🔗🔍
2Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.🔗🔍
3He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.🔗🔍
4The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.🔗🔍
5As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.🔗🔍
6The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.🔗🔍
7There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:🔗🔍
8The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.🔗🔍
9He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.🔗🔍
10He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.🔗🔍
11He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.🔗🔍
12But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?🔗🔍
13Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.🔗🔍
14The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.🔗🔍
15It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.🔗🔍
16It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.🔗🔍
17The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.🔗🔍
18No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.🔗🔍
19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.🔗🔍
20Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?🔗🔍
21Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.🔗🔍
22Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.🔗🔍
23God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.🔗🔍
24For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;🔗🔍
25To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.🔗🔍
26When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:🔗🔍
27Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.🔗🔍
28And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.🔗🔍
