18_JOB_28_02 iron Is taken out of the earth, And brass [ Is] molten [ out of] the stone.
18_JOB_28_03 he setteth an end to darkness, And searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, And the shadow of death.
18_JOB_28_04 the flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; [ even the waters] forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
18_JOB_28_05 [ as for] the earth, out of it cometh bread: And under it Is turned up as it were fire.
18_JOB_28_06 the stones of it [ are] the place of sapphires: And it hath dust of gold.
18_JOB_28_07 [ there Is] A path which no fowl knoweth, And which the vulture's eye hath not seen:
18_JOB_28_08 the lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
18_JOB_28_09 he putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
18_JOB_28_10 he cutteth out rivers among the rocks; And his eye seeth every precious thing.
18_JOB_28_11 he bindeth the floods from overflowing; And [ the thing that Is] hid bringeth he forth to light.
18_JOB_28_12 but where shall wisdom be found? And where [ Is] the place of understanding?
18_JOB_28_13 man knoweth not the price thereof; neither Is it found in the land of the living.
18_JOB_28_14 the depth saith, it [ Is] not in me: And the sea saith, [ it Is] not with me.
18_JOB_28_15 it cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed [ for] the price thereof.
18_JOB_28_16 it cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
18_JOB_28_17 the gold And the crystal cannot equal it: And the exchange of it [ shall not be for] jewels of fine gold.
18_JOB_28_18 no mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom [ Is] above rubies.
18_JOB_28_19 the topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

18_JOB_28_22 destruction And death say, we have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
18_JOB_28_23 God understandeth the way thereof, And he knoweth the place thereof.
18_JOB_28_24 for he looketh to the ends of the earth, [ And] seeth under the whole heaven;
18_JOB_28_25 to make the weight for the winds; And he weigheth the waters by measure.
18_JOB_28_26 when he made A decree for the rain, And A way for the lightning of the thunder:
18_JOB_28_27 Then did he see it, And declare it; he prepared it, yea, And searched it out.
18_JOB_28_28 And unto man he said, behold, the Fear of the LORD, that [ Is] wisdom; And to Depart from evil [ Is] understanding.
