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