1 Surely 3426 there is a vein 4161 for the silver 3701, and a place 4725 for gold 2091 where they fine 2212 it.
2 Iron 1270 is taken 3947 out of the earth 6083, and brass 5154 is molten 6694 out of the stone 68.
3 He setteth 7760 an end 7093 to darkness 2822, and searcheth out 2713 all perfection 8503: the stones 68 of darkness 652, and the shadow of death 6757.
4 The flood 5158 breaketh out 6555 from the inhabitant 1481; even the waters forgotten 7911 of the foot 7272: they are dried up 1809, they are gone away 5128 from men 582.
5 As for the earth 776, out of it cometh 3318 bread 3899: and under it is turned up 2015 as it were fire 784.
6 The stones 68 of it are the place 4725 of sapphires 5601: and it hath dust 6083 of gold 2091.
7 There is a path 5410 which no fowl 5861 knoweth 3045, and which the vulture's 344 eye 5869 hath not seen 7805:
8 The lion's 7830 whelps 1121 have not trodden 1869 it, nor the fierce lion 7826 passed 5710 by it.
9 He putteth forth 7971 his hand 3027 upon the rock 2496; he overturneth 2015 the mountains 2022 by the roots 8328.
10 He cutteth out 1234 rivers 2975 among the rocks 6697; and his eye 5869 seeth 7200 every precious thing 3366.
11 He bindeth 2280 the floods 5104 from overflowing 1065; and the thing that is hid 8587 bringeth he forth 3318 to light 216.
12 But where 370 shall wisdom 2451 be found 4672? and where is the place 4725 of understanding 998?
13 Man 582 knoweth 3045 not the price 6187 thereof; neither is it found 4672 in the land 776 of the living 2416.
14 The depth 8415 saith 559, It is not in me: and the sea 3220 saith 559, It is not with me.
15 It cannot be gotten 5414 for gold 5458, neither shall silver 3701 be weighed 8254 for the price 4242 thereof.
16 It cannot be valued 5541 with the gold 3800 of Ophir 211, with the precious 3368 onyx 7718, or the sapphire 5601.
17 The gold 2091 and the crystal 2137 cannot equal 6186 it: and the exchange 8545 of it shall not be for jewels 3627 of fine gold 6337.
18 No mention 2142 shall be made of coral 7215, or of pearls 1378: for the price 4901 of wisdom 2451 is above rubies 6443.
19 The topaz 6357 of Ethiopia 3568 shall not equal 6186 it, neither shall it be valued 5541 with pure 2889 gold 3800.
20 Whence 370 then cometh 935 wisdom 2451? and where is the place 4725 of understanding 998?
21 Seeing it is hid 5956 from the eyes 5869 of all living 2416, and kept close 5641 from the fowls 5775 of the air 8064.
22 Destruction 11 and death 4194 say 559, We have heard 8085 the fame 8088 thereof with our ears 241.
23 God 430 understandeth 995 the way 1870 thereof, and he knoweth 3045 the place 4725 thereof.
24 For he looketh 5027 to the ends 7098 of the earth 776, and seeth 7200 under the whole heaven 8064;
25 To make 6213 the weight 4948 for the winds 7307; and he weigheth 8505 the waters 4325 by measure 4060.
26 When he made 6213 a decree 2706 for the rain 4306, and a way 1870 for the lightning 2385 of the thunder 6963:
27 Then did he see 7200 it, and declare 5608 it; he prepared 3559 it, yea, and searched it out 2713.
28 And unto man 120 he said 559, Behold, the fear 3374 of the Lord 136, that is wisdom 2451; and to depart 5493 from evil 7451 is understanding 998.
