1 # Surely <03426> there is a vein <04161> for the silver <03701>, and a place <04725> for gold <02091> where they fine <02212> (8799) it.
2 Iron <01270> is taken <03947> (8714) out of the earth <06083>, and brass <05154> is molten <06694> (8799) out of the stone <068>.
3 He setteth <07760> (8804) an end <07093> to darkness <02822>, and searcheth out <02713> (8802) all perfection <08503>: the stones <068> of darkness <0652>, and the shadow of death <06757>.
4 The flood <05158> breaketh out <06555> (8804) from the inhabitant <01481> (8802); even the waters forgotten <07911> (8737) of the foot <07272>: they are dried up <01809> (8804), they are gone away <05128> (8804) from men <0582>.
5 As for the earth <0776>, out of it cometh <03318> (8799) bread <03899>: and under it is turned up <02015> (8738) as it were fire <0784>.
6 The stones <068> of it are the place <04725> of sapphires <05601>: and it hath dust <06083> of gold <02091>.
7 There is a path <05410> which no fowl <05861> knoweth <03045> (8804), and which the vulture's <0344> eye <05869> hath not seen <07805> (8804):
8 The lion's <07830> whelps <01121> have not trodden <01869> (8689) it, nor the fierce lion <07826> passed <05710> (8804) by it.
9 He putteth forth <07971> (8804) his hand <03027> upon the rock <02496>; he overturneth <02015> (8804) the mountains <02022> by the roots <08328>.
10 He cutteth out <01234> (8765) rivers <02975> among the rocks <06697>; and his eye <05869> seeth <07200> (8804) every precious thing <03366>.
11 He bindeth <02280> (8765) the floods <05104> from overflowing <01065>; and the thing that is hid <08587> bringeth he forth <03318> (8686) to light <0216>.
12 But where <0370> shall wisdom <02451> be found <04672> (8735)? and where is the place <04725> of understanding <0998>?
13 Man <0582> knoweth <03045> (8804) not the price <06187> thereof; neither is it found <04672> (8735) in the land <0776> of the living <02416>.
14 # The depth <08415> saith <0559> (8804), It is not in me: and the sea <03220> saith <0559> (8804), It is not with me.
15 It cannot be gotten <05414> (8714) for gold <05458>, neither shall silver <03701> be weighed <08254> (8735) for the price <04242> thereof.
16 It cannot be valued <05541> (8792) with the gold <03800> of Ophir <0211>, with the precious <03368> onyx <07718>, or the sapphire <05601>.
17 The gold <02091> and the crystal <02137> cannot equal <06186> (8799) it: and the exchange <08545> of it shall not be for jewels <03627> of fine gold <06337>.
18 No mention <02142> (8735) shall be made of coral <07215>, or of pearls <01378>: for the price <04901> of wisdom <02451> is above rubies <06443>.
19 The topaz <06357> of Ethiopia <03568> shall not equal <06186> (8799) it, neither shall it be valued <05541> (8792) with pure <02889> gold <03800>.
20 # Whence <0370> then cometh <0935> (8799) wisdom <02451>? and where is the place <04725> of understanding <0998>?
21 Seeing it is hid <05956> (8738) from the eyes <05869> of all living <02416>, and kept close <05641> (8738) from the fowls <05775> of the air <08064>.
22 Destruction <011> and death <04194> say <0559> (8804), We have heard <08085> (8804) the fame <08088> thereof with our ears <0241>.
23 God <0430> understandeth <0995> (8689) the way <01870> thereof, and he knoweth <03045> (8804) the place <04725> thereof.
24 For he looketh <05027> (8686) to the ends <07098> of the earth <0776>, and seeth <07200> (8799) under the whole heaven <08064>;
25 To make <06213> (8800) the weight <04948> for the winds <07307>; and he weigheth <08505> (8765) the waters <04325> by measure <04060>.
26 When he made <06213> (8800) a decree <02706> for the rain <04306>, and a way <01870> for the lightning <02385> of the thunder <06963>:
27 Then did he see <07200> (8804) it, and declare <05608> (8762) it; he prepared <03559> (8689) it, yea, and searched it out <02713> (8804).
28 And unto man <0120> he said <0559> (8799), Behold, the fear <03374> of the Lord <0136>, that is wisdom <02451>; and to depart <05493> (8800) from evil <07451> is understanding <0998>.
