Job 28:1–4 Job describes the difficulties of mining precious metals.
Job 28:7–8 Neither the birds of the sky (falcon’s eye) nor the animals of the earth (lion) have any knowledge of activities like mining. They are uniquely human endeavors.
Job 28:10 Channels may refer to either rivers in general or the Nile specifically.
Job 28:11 Job’s description of human industry (vv. 1–11) is summed up well in the second line of this verse: the thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
Job 28:12–22 But where shall wisdom be found? (Compare v. 20.) With all the negative statements in these verses, the answer is that true wisdom is unknown to mankind.
Job 28:15–19 These verses contain many references to gold and precious stones. All are expensive and difficult to obtain, yet none compare with the value of wisdom.
Job 28:21 The place of wisdom is hidden from the eyes of all living creatures on the earth, including humans and the birds of the air.
Job 28:22 The reference to Abaddon and Death here is likely related to Job’s earlier description of them as a realm that is hidden from human observation (26:5–6).
Job 28:23–28 Only God understands and knows wisdom and how it is acquired (v. 23). God gives wisdom, and it is defined in relation to him: the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom (v. 28; see Prov. 1:7; 9:10), and to turn away from evil is understanding (see Prov. 3:7; 16:6).
