Chapter 28
Job MKJV 28:1  Surely there is a mine for the silver, and a place where they refine gold.
Job MKJV 28:2  Iron is taken out of the earth, and bronze is melted out of the stone.
Job MKJV 28:3  He sets an end to darkness, and to every extremity He searches out the stones of darkness and the shadow of death.
Job MKJV 28:4  He opens a shaft far from the visitor; they are forgotten by man's foot; they hang far away from men, they swing to and fro.
Job MKJV 28:5  As to the earth, out of it comes bread; and underneath it is turned up like fire.
Job MKJV 28:6  Its stones are the place of sapphires; and it has dust of gold.
Job MKJV 28:7  There is a path which no bird knows, nor has the vulture's eye caught sight of it;
Job MKJV 28:8  the sons of pride have not walked on it, the lion has not passed by.
Job MKJV 28:9  He puts forth His hand on the flinty places; He overturns the mountains by the roots.
Job MKJV 28:10  He cuts out rivers among the rocks; and His eye sees every precious thing.
Job MKJV 28:11  He holds back the floods from overflowing; and the hidden thing, He brings to light.
Job MKJV 28:12  But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
Job MKJV 28:13  Man does not know the price of it; nor is it found in the land of the living.
Job MKJV 28:14  The deep says, It is not in me; and the sea says, It is not in me.
Job MKJV 28:15  Pure gold cannot be given in its stead, and silver be weighed as its price.
Job MKJV 28:16  It cannot be weighed against the gold of Ophir, against precious onyx, or sapphire;
Job MKJV 28:17  gold and the crystal cannot equal it, nor can it be exchanged for a vessel of fine gold.
Job MKJV 28:18  No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls; and the price of wisdom is above rubies.
Job MKJV 28:19  The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it; it cannot be weighed against pure gold.
Job MKJV 28:20  From where then does wisdom come, and where is the place of understanding?
Job MKJV 28:21  Yea, it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and hidden from the birds of the heavens.
Job MKJV 28:22  The place of ruin and death say, We have heard the fame of it with our ears.
Job MKJV 28:23  God understands the way of it, and He knows its place.
Job MKJV 28:24  For He looks to the end of the earth, and sees under all the heavens;
Job MKJV 28:25  making a weight for the winds, and measuring out the waters by measure.
Job MKJV 28:26  When He made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning to thunder;
Job MKJV 28:27  then He saw it, and declared it; He prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
Job MKJV 28:28  And to man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom! And to depart from evil is understanding!
