Job 28:1-27

28:1

Surely
<03426>

there is a vein
<04161>

for the silver
<03701>_,

and a place
<04725>

for gold
<02091>

[where] they fine
<02212> (8799)

[it]. {vein: or, mine}

28:2

Iron
<01270>

is taken
<03947> (8714)

out of the earth
<06083>_,

and brass
<05154>

[is] molten
<06694> (8799)

[out of] the stone
<068>_.

{earth: or, dust}

28:3

He setteth
<07760> (8804)

an end
<07093>

to darkness
<02822>_,

and searcheth out
<02713> (8802)

all perfection
<08503>_:

the stones
<068>

of darkness
<0652>_,

and the shadow of death
<06757>_.

28:4

The flood
<05158>

breaketh out
<06555> (8804)

from the inhabitant
<01481> (8802)_;

[even the waters] forgotten
<07911> (8737)

of the foot
<07272>_:

they are dried up
<01809> (8804)_,

they are gone away
<05128> (8804)

from men
<0582>_.

28:5

[As for] the earth
<0776>_,

out of it cometh
<03318> (8799)

bread
<03899>_:

and under it is turned up
<02015> (8738)

as it were fire
<0784>_.

28:6

The stones
<068>

of it [are] the place
<04725>

of sapphires
<05601>_:

and it hath dust
<06083>

of gold
<02091>_.

{dust...: or, gold ore}

28:7

[There is] a path
<05410>

which no fowl
<05861>

knoweth
<03045> (8804)_,

and which the vulture's
<0344>

eye
<05869>

hath not seen
<07805> (8804)_:

28:8

The lion's
<07830>

whelps
<01121>

have not trodden
<01869> (8689)

it, nor the fierce lion
<07826>

passed
<05710> (8804)

by it.

28:9

He putteth forth
<07971> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

upon the rock
<02496>_;

he overturneth
<02015> (8804)

the mountains
<02022>

by the roots
<08328>_.

{rock: or, flint}

28:10

He cutteth out
<01234> (8765)

rivers
<02975>

among the rocks
<06697>_;

and his eye
<05869>

seeth
<07200> (8804)

every precious thing
<03366>_.

28:11

He bindeth
<02280> (8765)

the floods
<05104>

from overflowing
<01065>_;

and [the thing that is] hid
<08587>

bringeth he forth
<03318> (8686)

to light
<0216>_.

{overflowing: Heb. weeping}

28:12

But where
<0370>

shall wisdom
<02451>

be found
<04672> (8735)_?

and where [is] the place
<04725>

of understanding
<0998>_?

28:13

Man
<0582>

knoweth
<03045> (8804)

not the price
<06187>

thereof; neither is it found
<04672> (8735)

in the land
<0776>

of the living
<02416>_.

28:14

The depth
<08415>

saith
<0559> (8804)_,

It [is] not in me: and the sea
<03220>

saith
<0559> (8804)_,

[It is] not with me.

28:15

It cannot be gotten
<05414> (8714)

for gold
<05458>_,

neither shall silver
<03701>

be weighed
<08254> (8735)

[for] the price
<04242>

thereof. {It...: Heb. Fine gold shall not be given for it}

28:16

It cannot be valued
<05541> (8792)

with the gold
<03800>

of Ophir
<0211>_,

with the precious
<03368>

onyx
<07718>_,

or the sapphire
<05601>_.

28:17

The gold
<02091>

and the crystal
<02137>

cannot equal
<06186> (8799)

it: and the exchange
<08545>

of it [shall not be for] jewels
<03627>

of fine gold
<06337>_.

{jewels...: or, vessels of}

28:18

No mention
<02142> (8735)

shall be made of coral
<07215>_,

or of pearls
<01378>_:

for the price
<04901>

of wisdom
<02451>

[is] above rubies
<06443>_.

{coral: or, Ramoth}

28:19

The topaz
<06357>

of Ethiopia
<03568>

shall not equal
<06186> (8799)

it, neither shall it be valued
<05541> (8792)

with pure
<02889>

gold
<03800>_.

28:20

Whence
<0370>

then cometh
<0935> (8799)

wisdom
<02451>_?

and where [is] the place
<04725>

of understanding
<0998>_?

28:21

Seeing it is hid
<05956> (8738)

from the eyes
<05869>

of all living
<02416>_,

and kept close
<05641> (8738)

from the fowls
<05775>

of the air
<08064>_.

{air: or, heaven}

28:22

Destruction
<011>

and death
<04194>

say
<0559> (8804)_,

We have heard
<08085> (8804)

the fame
<08088>

thereof with our ears
<0241>_.

28:23

God
<0430>

understandeth
<0995> (8689)

the way
<01870>

thereof, and he knoweth
<03045> (8804)

the place
<04725>

thereof.

28:24

For he looketh
<05027> (8686)

to the ends
<07098>

of the earth
<0776>_,

[and] seeth
<07200> (8799)

under the whole heaven
<08064>_;

28:25

To make
<06213> (8800)

the weight
<04948>

for the winds
<07307>_;

and he weigheth
<08505> (8765)

the waters
<04325>

by measure
<04060>_.

28:26

When he made
<06213> (8800)

a decree
<02706>

for the rain
<04306>_,

and a way
<01870>

for the lightning
<02385>

of the thunder
<06963>_:

28:27

Then did he see
<07200> (8804)

it, and declare
<05608> (8762)

it; he prepared
<03559> (8689)

it, yea, and searched it out
<02713> (8804)_.

{declare...: or, number it}
