Job 28

KJV

1  Surely³⁵⁸⁸ there is³⁴²⁶ a vein⁴¹⁶¹ for the silver,³⁷⁰¹ and a place⁴⁷²⁵ for gold²⁰⁹¹ where they fine²²¹² it.

2  Iron¹²⁷⁰ is taken³⁹⁴⁷ out of the earth,^{4480 6083} and brass⁵¹⁵⁴ is molten⁶⁶⁹⁴ out of the stone.⁶⁸

3  He setteth⁷⁷⁶⁰ an end⁷⁰⁹³ to darkness,²⁸²² and searcheth out^{2713 1931} all³⁶⁰⁵ perfection:⁸⁵⁰³ the stones⁶⁸ of darkness,⁶⁵² and the shadow of death.⁶⁷⁵⁷

4  The flood⁵¹⁵⁸ breaketh out⁶⁵⁵⁵ from^{4480 5973} the inhabitant;¹⁴⁸¹ even the waters forgotten⁷⁹¹¹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the foot:⁷²⁷² they are dried up,¹⁸⁰⁹ they are gone away⁵¹²⁸ from men.^{4480 582}

5  As for the earth,⁷⁷⁶ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ it cometh³³¹⁸ bread:³⁸⁹⁹ and under⁸⁴⁷⁸ it is turned up²⁰¹⁵ as it were³⁶⁴⁴ fire.⁷⁸⁴

6  The stones⁶⁸ of it are the place⁴⁷²⁵ of sapphires:⁵⁶⁰¹ and it hath dust⁶⁰⁸³ of gold.²⁰⁹¹

7  There is a path⁵⁴¹⁰ which no³⁸⁰⁸ fowl⁵⁸⁶¹ knoweth,³⁰⁴⁵ and which the vulture's³⁴⁴ eye⁵⁸⁶⁹ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ seen:⁷⁸⁰⁵

8  The lion's⁷⁸³⁰ whelps¹¹²¹ have not³⁸⁰⁸ trodden¹⁸⁶⁹ it, nor³⁸⁰⁸ the fierce lion⁷⁸²⁶ passed⁵⁷¹⁰ by⁵⁹²¹ it.

9  He putteth forth⁷⁹⁷¹ his hand³⁰²⁷ upon the rock;²⁴⁹⁶ he overturneth²⁰¹⁵ the mountains²⁰²² by the roots.^{4480 8328}

10  He cutteth out¹²³⁴ rivers²⁹⁷⁵ among the rocks;⁶⁶⁹⁷ and his eye⁵⁸⁶⁹ seeth⁷²⁰⁰ every³⁶⁰⁵ precious thing.³³⁶⁶

11  He bindeth²²⁸⁰ the floods⁵¹⁰⁴ from overflowing;^{4480 1065} and the thing that is hid⁸⁵⁸⁷ bringeth he forth³³¹⁸ to light.²¹⁶

12  But where^{4480 370} shall wisdom²⁴⁵¹ be found?⁴⁶⁷² and where^{335 2088} is the place⁴⁷²⁵ of understanding?⁹⁹⁸

13  Man⁵⁸² knoweth³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ the price⁶¹⁸⁷ thereof; neither³⁸⁰⁸ is it found⁴⁶⁷² in the land⁷⁷⁶ of the living.²⁴¹⁶

14  The depth⁸⁴¹⁵ saith,⁵⁵⁹ It¹⁹³¹ is not³⁸⁰⁸ in me: and the sea³²²⁰ saith,⁵⁵⁹ It is not³⁶⁹ with⁵⁹⁷⁸ me.

15  It cannot³⁸⁰⁸ be gotten⁵⁴¹⁴ for gold,^{2091 5462 8478} neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall silver³⁷⁰¹ be weighed⁸²⁵⁴ for the price⁴²⁴² thereof.

16  It cannot³⁸⁰⁸ be valued⁵⁵⁴¹ with the gold³⁸⁰⁰ of Ophir,²¹¹ with the precious³³⁶⁸ onyx,⁷⁷¹⁸ or the sapphire.⁵⁶⁰¹

17  The gold²⁰⁹¹ and the crystal²¹³⁷ cannot³⁸⁰⁸ equal⁶¹⁸⁶ it: and the exchange⁸⁵⁴⁵ of it shall not be for jewels³⁶²⁷ of fine gold.⁶³³⁷

18  No³⁸⁰⁸ mention shall be made²¹⁴² of coral,⁷²¹⁵ or of pearls:¹³⁷⁸ for the price⁴⁹⁰¹ of wisdom²⁴⁵¹ is above rubies.^{4480 6443}

19  The topaz⁶³⁵⁷ of Ethiopia³⁵⁶⁸ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ equal⁶¹⁸⁶ it, neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall it be valued⁵⁵⁴¹ with pure²⁸⁸⁹ gold.³⁸⁰⁰

20  Whence^{4480 370} then cometh⁹³⁵ wisdom?²⁴⁵¹ and where^{335 2088} is the place⁴⁷²⁵ of understanding?⁹⁹⁸

21  Seeing it is hid⁵⁹⁵⁶ from the eyes^{4480 5869} of all³⁶⁰⁵ living,²⁴¹⁶ and kept close⁵⁶⁴¹ from the fowls^{4480 5775} of the air.⁸⁰⁶⁴

22  Destruction¹¹ and death⁴¹⁹⁴ say,⁵⁵⁹ We have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the fame⁸⁰⁸⁸ thereof with our ears.²⁴¹

23  God⁴³⁰ understandeth⁹⁹⁵ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ thereof, and he¹⁹³¹ knoweth^{3045 853} the place⁴⁷²⁵ thereof.

24  For³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ looketh⁵⁰²⁷ to the ends⁷⁰⁹⁸ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and seeth⁷²⁰⁰ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ the whole³⁶⁰⁵ heaven;⁸⁰⁶⁴

25  To make⁶²¹³ the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ for the winds;⁷³⁰⁷ and he weigheth⁸⁵⁰⁵ the waters⁴³²⁵ by measure.⁴⁰⁶⁰

26  When he made⁶²¹³ a decree²⁷⁰⁶ for the rain,⁴³⁰⁶ and a way¹⁸⁷⁰ for the lightning²³⁸⁵ of the thunder:⁶⁹⁶³

27  Then²²⁷ did he see⁷²⁰⁰ it, and declare⁵⁶⁰⁸ it; he prepared³⁵⁵⁹ it, yea,¹⁵⁷¹ and searched it out.²⁷¹³

28  And unto man¹²⁰ he said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ the fear³³⁷⁴ of the Lord,¹³⁶ that¹⁹³¹ is wisdom;²⁴⁵¹ and to depart⁵⁴⁹³ from evil^{4480 7451} is understanding.⁹⁹⁸

1 ἔστιν γὰρ ἀργυρίῳ τόπος ὅθεν γίνεται τόπος δὲ χρυσίῳ ὅθεν διηθεῖται

2 σίδηρος μὲν γὰρ ἐκ γῆς γίνεται χαλκὸς δὲ ἴσα λίθῳ λατομεῖται

3 τάξιν ἔθετο σκότει καὶ πᾶν πέρας αὐτὸς ἐξακριβάζεται λίθος σκοτία καὶ σκιὰ θανάτου

4 διακοπὴ χειμάρρου ἀπὸ κονίας οἱ δὲ ἐπιλανθανόμενοι ὁδὸν δικαίαν ἠσθένησαν ἐκ βροτῶν

5 γῆ ἐξ αὐτῆς ἐξελεύσεται ἄρτος ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς ἐστράφη ὡσεὶ πῦρ

6 τόπος σαπφείρου οἱ λίθοι αὐτῆς καὶ χῶμα χρυσίον αὐτῷ

7 τρίβος οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτὴν πετεινόν καὶ οὐ παρέβλεψεν αὐτὴν ὀφθαλμὸς γυπός

8 οὐκ ἐπάτησαν αὐτὴν υἱοὶ ἀλαζόνων οὐ παρῆλθεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῆς λέων

9 ἐν ἀκροτόμῳ ἐξέτεινεν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ κατέστρεψεν δὲ ἐκ ῥιζῶν ὄρη

10 δίνας δὲ ποταμῶν ἔρρηξεν πᾶν δὲ ἔντιμον εἶδέν μου ὁ ὀφθαλμός

11 βάθη δὲ ποταμῶν ἀνεκάλυψεν ἔδειξεν δὲ ἑαυτοῦ δύναμιν εἰς φῶς

12 ἡ δὲ σοφία πόθεν εὑρέθη ποῖος δὲ τόπος ἐστὶν τῆς ἐπιστήμης

13 οὐκ οἶδεν βροτὸς ὁδὸν αὐτῆς οὐδὲ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἐν ἀνθρώποις

14 ἄβυσσος εἶπεν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἐμοί καὶ θάλασσα εἶπεν οὐκ ἔστιν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ

15 οὐ δώσει συγκλεισμὸν ἀντ᾽ αὐτῆς καὶ οὐ σταθήσεται ἀργύριον ἀντάλλαγμα αὐτῆς

16 καὶ οὐ συμβασταχθήσεται χρυσίῳ Ωφιρ ἐν ὄνυχι τιμίῳ καὶ σαπφείρῳ

17 οὐκ ἰσωθήσεται αὐτῇ χρυσίον καὶ ὕαλος καὶ τὸ ἄλλαγμα αὐτῆς σκεύη χρυσᾶ

18 μετέωρα καὶ γαβις οὐ μνησθήσεται καὶ ἕλκυσον σοφίαν ὑπὲρ τὰ ἐσώτατα

19 οὐκ ἰσωθήσεται αὐτῇ τοπάζιον Αἰθιοπίας χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ οὐ συμβασταχθήσεται

20 ἡ δὲ σοφία πόθεν εὑρέθη ποῖος δὲ τόπος ἐστὶν τῆς συνέσεως

21 λέληθεν πάντα ἄνθρωπον καὶ ἀπὸ πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐκρύβη

22 ἡ ἀπώλεια καὶ ὁ θάνατος εἶπαν ἀκηκόαμεν δὲ αὐτῆς τὸ κλέος

23 ὁ θεὸς εὖ συνέστησεν αὐτῆς τὴν ὁδόν αὐτὸς δὲ οἶδεν τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς

24 αὐτὸς γὰρ τὴν ὑπ᾽ οὐρανὸν πᾶσαν ἐφορᾷ εἰδὼς τὰ ἐν τῇ γῇ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν

25 ἀνέμων σταθμὸν ὕδατός τε μέτρα

26 ὅτε ἐποίησεν οὕτως ὑετὸν ἠρίθμησεν καὶ ὁδὸν ἐν τινάγματι φωνάς

27 τότε εἶδεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξηγήσατο αὐτήν ἑτοιμάσας ἐξιχνίασεν

28 εἶπεν δὲ ἀνθρώπῳ ἰδοὺ ἡ θεοσέβειά ἐστιν σοφία τὸ δὲ ἀπέχεσθαι ἀπὸ κακῶν ἐστιν ἐπιστήμη

1 [Habet argentum venarum suarum principia,
et auro locus est in quo conflatur.

2 Ferrum de terra tollitur,
et lapis solutus calore in æs vertitur.

3 Tempus posuit tenebris,
et universorum finem ipse considerat:
lapidem quoque caliginis et umbram mortis.

4 Dividit torrens a populo peregrinante
eos quos oblitus est pes egentis hominis, et invios.

5 Terra de qua oriebatur panis,
in loco suo igni subversa est.

6 Locus sapphiri lapides ejus,
et glebæ illius aurum.

7 Semitam ignoravit avis,
nec intuitus est eam oculus vulturis.

8 Non calcaverunt eam filii institorum,
nec pertransivit per eam leæna.

9 Ad silicem extendit manum suam:
subvertit a radicibus montes.

10 In petris rivos excidit,
et omne pretiosum vidit oculus ejus.

11 Profunda quoque fluviorum scrutatus est,
et abscondita in lucem produxit.

12 Sapientia vero ubi invenitur?
et quis est locus intelligentiæ?

13 Nescit homo pretium ejus,
nec invenitur in terra suaviter viventium.

14 Abyssus dicit: Non est in me,
et mare loquitur: Non est mecum.

15 Non dabitur aurum obrizum pro ea,
nec appendetur argentum in commutatione ejus.

16 Non conferetur tinctis Indiæ coloribus,
nec lapidi sardonycho pretiosissimo vel sapphiro.

17 Non adæquabitur ei aurum vel vitrum,
nec commutabuntur pro ea vasa auri.

18 Excelsa et eminentia non memorabuntur comparatione ejus:
trahitur autem sapientia de occultis.

19 Non adæquabitur ei topazius de Æthiopia,
nec tincturæ mundissimæ componetur.

20 Unde ergo sapientia venit?
et quis est locus intelligentiæ?

21 Abscondita est ab oculis omnium viventium:
volucres quoque cæli latet.

22 Perditio et mors dixerunt:
Auribus nostris audivimus famam ejus.

23 Deus intelligit viam ejus,
et ipse novit locum illius.

24 Ipse enim fines mundi intuetur,
et omnia quæ sub cælo sunt respicit.

25 Qui fecit ventis pondus,
et aquas appendit in mensura.

26 Quando ponebat pluviis legem,
et viam procellis sonantibus:

27 tunc vidit illam et enarravit,
et præparavit, et investigavit.

28 Et dixit homini: Ecce timor Domini, ipsa est sapientia;
et recedere a malo, intelligentia.]
