For there is a place for the silver, whence it comes, and a place for the gold, whence it is refined. |
|

for gold°
[where] they fine°°
[it]. |
|
28:2
For iron comes out of the earth, and brass is hewn out like stone. |

[is] molten°°
[out of] the stone.° |

He has set a bound to darkness, and he searches out every limit: a stone [is] darkness, and the shadow of death. |

and searcheth out°°°
all°
perfection:°
the stones°
of darkness,°
and the shadow of death.° |
|
28:4
There is a cutting off the torrent by reason of dust: so they that forget the right way are weakened; they are removed from [among] men. |
|
28:4
The flood°
breaketh out°°
from°°
the inhabitant;°°
[even the waters] forgotten°°
of°
the foot:°
they are dried up,°°
they are gone away°°
from men.°° |
|
28:5
[As for] the earth, out of it shall come bread: under it has been turned up as it were fire. |

Her stones are the place of the sapphire: and [her] dust [supplies] man with gold. |
|
28:6

of it [are] the place°
of sapphires:°
and it hath dust°

|
28:7
[There is] a path, the fowl has not known it, neither has the eye of the vulture seen it: |
|
28:7
[There is] a path°
which no°
fowl°
knoweth,°°
and which the vulture's°
eye°
hath not°
seen:°° |
|
28:8
neither have the sons of the proud trodden it, a lion has not passed upon it. |
|
28:8
The lion's°
whelps°
have not°
trodden°°
it, nor°
the fierce lion°
passed°°
by°
it. |
|
28:9
He has stretched forth his hand on the sharp [rock], and turned up mountains by the roots: |
|
28:9
He putteth forth°°
his hand°
upon the rock;°
he overturneth°°
the mountains°
by the roots.°° |
|
28:10
and he has interrupted the whirlpools of rivers, and mine eye has seen every precious thing. |
|
28:10
He cutteth out°°
rivers°
among the rocks;°
and his eye°
seeth°°
every°
precious thing.° |
|
28:11
And he has laid bare the depths of rivers, and has brought his power to light. |
|
28:11
He bindeth°°
the floods°
from overflowing;°°
and [the thing that is] hid°
bringeth he forth°°
to light.° |
|
28:12
But whence has wisdom been discovered? and what is the place of knowledge? |
|
28:12
But where°°
shall wisdom°
be found?°°
and where°°
[is] the place°
of understanding?° |
|
28:13
A mortal has not known its way, neither indeed has it been discovered among men. |
|
28:13
Man°
knoweth°°
not°
the price°
thereof; neither°
is it found°°
in the land°
of the living.° |
|
28:14
The depth said, It is not in me: and the sea said, It is not with me. |
|
28:14
The depth°
saith,°°
It°
[is] not°
in me: and the sea°
saith,°°
[It is] not°
with°
me. |
|
28:15
One shall not give fine gold instead of it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it. |
|
28:15
It cannot°
be gotten°°
for gold,°°°°
neither°
shall silver°
be weighed°°
[for] the price°
thereof. |
|
28:16
Neither shall it be compared with gold of Sophir, with the precious onyx and sapphire. |
|
28:16
It cannot°
be valued°°
with the gold°
of Ophir,°
with the precious°
onyx,°
or the sapphire.° |
|
28:17
Gold and crystal shall not be equalled to it, neither shall vessels of gold be its exchange. |

28:17
The gold°
and the crystal°
cannot°
equal°°
it: and the exchange°
of it [shall not be for] jewels°
of fine gold.° |
|
28:18
Coral and fine pearl shall not be mentioned: but do thou esteem wisdom above the most precious things. |
|
28:18
No°
mention°°
shall be made°
of coral,°
or of pearls:°
for the price°
of wisdom°
[is] above rubies.°° |
|
28:19
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equalled to it; it shall not be compared with pure gold. |
|
28:19
The topaz°
of Ethiopia°
shall not°
equal°°
it, neither°
shall it be valued°°
with pure°
gold.° |
|
28:20
Whence then is wisdom found? and of what kind is the place of understanding? |
|
28:20
Whence°°
then cometh°°
wisdom?°
and where°°
[is] the place°
of understanding?° |

28:21
It has escaped the notice of every man, and has been hidden from the birds of the sky. |

from the eyes°°
of all°
living,°
and kept close°°
from the fowls°°
of the air.° |
|
28:22
Destruction and Death said, We have heard the report of it. |
|
28:22
Destruction°
and death°
say,°°
We have heard°°
the fame°
thereof with our ears.° |
|
28:23
God has well ordered the way of it, and he knows the place of it. |
|
28:23
Elohim°
understandeth°°
the way°
thereof, and he°
knoweth°°°
the place°
thereof. |
|
28:24
For he surveys the whole [earth] under heaven, knowing the things in the earth: |
|
28:24
For°
he°
looketh°°
to the ends°
of the earth,°
[and] seeth°°
under°
the whole°
heaven;° |
|
28:25
all that he has made; the weight of the winds, the measures of the water. |
|
28:25
To make°°
the weight°
for the winds;°
and he weigheth°°
the waters°
by measure.° |
|
28:26
When he made [them], thus he saw and numbered them, and made a way for the pealing of the thunder. |
|
28:26
When he made°°
a decree°
for the rain,°
and a way°
for the lightning°
of the thunder:° |
|
28:27
Then he saw it, and declared it: he prepared it [and] traced it out. |
|
28:27
Then°
did he see°°
it, and declare°°
it; he prepared°°
it, yea,°
and searched it out.°° |
|
28:28
And he said to man, Behold, godliness is wisdom: and to abstain from evil is understanding. |
|
28:28
And unto man°
he said,°°
Behold,°
the fear°
of Yahweh,°
that°
[is] wisdom;°
and to depart°°
from evil°°
[is] understanding.° |
