Job 28:20-28

View Full Chapter

20Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell?

21It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds in the sky.

22Destruction Hebrew Abaddon and Death say, “Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.”

23God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwells,

24for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.

25When he established the force of the wind and measured out the waters,

26when he made a decree for the rain and a path for the thunderstorm,

27then he looked at wisdom and appraised it; he confirmed it and tested it. 28And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”
