CHAP. XXVIII.
1 There is a knowledge of naturall things. 12
But wisedome is an excellent gift of God.
1
Surely there is note a veine for
the siluer, and a place for
golde where they fine it.
2
Iron is taken out of
the note earth, and brasse is
molten out of the stone.
3
Hee setteth an ende to darkenesse,
and searcheth out all perfection: the
stones of darkenesse and the shadow of
death.
4
The floud breaketh out from the
inhabitant; euen the waters forgotten of
the foote: they are dried vp, they are
gone away from men.
5
As for the earth, out of it commeth
bread: and vnder it, is turned vp as it
were fire.
6
The stones of it are the place of
Saphires: and it hath note dust of golde.
7
There is a path which no foule
knoweth, and which the vulturs eye
hath not seene.
8
The lyons whelps haue not troden
it, nor the fierce lyon passed by it.
9
Hee putteth foorth his hand vpon
the note rocke; hee ouerturneth the mountaines
by the rootes.
10
Hee cutteth out riuers among the
rockes, and his eye seeth euery precious
thing.
11
He bindeth the flouds note from ouerflowing,
and the thing that is hid, bringeth
he foorth to light.
12
But where shall wisedome bee
found? and where is the place of vnderstanding?
13
Man knoweth not the price thereof
neither is it found in the land of the
liuing.
14
noteThe depth saith, It is not in me:
and the sea saith, It is not with me.
15
noteIt note cannot be gotten for golde,
neither shall siluer be weighed for the
price thereof.
16
It cannot be valued with the
golde of Ophir, with the precious Onix,
or the Saphire.
Iobs forme prosperitie, and present miserie.
17
The golde and the chrystall cannot
equall it: and the exchange of it shall
not be for note iewels of fine golde.
18
No mention shalbe made of note Corall,
or of Pearles: for the price of wisedome
is aboue Rubies.
19
The Topaze of Ethiopia shall
not equall it, neither shall it be valued
with pure golde.
20
noteWhence then commeth wisedome?
and where is the place of vnderstanding?
21
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of
all liuing, and kept close from the foules
of the note ayre.
22
Destruction and death say, Wee
haue heard the fame thereof with our
eares.
23
God vnderstandeth the way thereof,
and he knoweth the place thereof.
24
For hee looketh to the endes of
the earth, and seeth vnder the whole
heauen:
25
To make the weight for the
windes, and he weigheth the waters by
measure.
26
When hee made a decree for the
raine, and a way for the lightning of
the thunder:
27
Then did he see it, note and declare
it, he prepared it, yea and searched it out.
28
noteAnd vnto man he said, Behold,
the feare of the Lord, that is wisedome,
and to depart from euill, is vnderstanding.
