Chapter 28

1


 

  Silver hath beginnings of its veins, and gold hath a place wherein it is melted.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone melted with heat is turned into brass.  

 

 

-

3


 

  He hath set a time for darkness, and the end of all things he considereth, the stone also that is in the dark and the shadow of death.  

 

 

-

4


 

  The flood divideth from the people that are on their journey, those whom the food of the needy man hath forgotten, and who cannot be come at.  

 

 

-

5


 

  The land, out of which bread grew in its place, hath been overturned with fire.  

 

 

-

6


 

  The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and the clods of it are gold.  

 

 

-

7


 

  The bird hath not known the path, neither hath the eye of the vulture beheld it.  

 

 

-

8


 

  The children of the merchants have not trodden it, neither hath the lioness passed by it.  

 

 

-

9


 

  He hath stretched forth his hand to the flint, he hath overturned mountains from the roots.  

 

 

-

10


 

  In the rocks he hath cut out rivers, and his eye hath seen every precious thing.  

 

 

-

11


 

  The depths also of rivers he hath searched, and hidden things he hath brought forth to light.  

 

 

-

12


 

  But where is wisdom to be found, and where is the place of understanding?  

 

 

-

13


 

  Man knoweth not the price thereof, neither is it found in the land of them that live in delights.  

 

 

-

14


 

  The depth saith: It is not in me: and the sea saith: It is not with me.  

 

 

-

15


 

  The finest gold shall not purchase it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it  

 

 

-

16


 

  It shall not be compared with the dyed colours of India, or with the most precious stone sardonyx, or the sapphire.  

 

 

-

17


 

  Gold or crystal cannot equal it, neither shall any vessels of gold be changed for it.  

 

 

-

18


 

  High and eminent things shall not be mentioned in comparison of it: but wisdom is drawn out of secret places.  

 

 

-

19


 

  The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equal to it, neither shall it be compared to the cleanest dyeing.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?  

 

 

-

21


 

  It is hid from the eyes of all living. and the fowls of the air know it not.  

 

 

-

22


 

  Destruction and death have said: With our ears we have heard the fame thereof.  

 

 

-

23


 

  God understandeth the way of it, and he knoweth the place thereof.  

 

 

-

24


 

  For he beholdeth the ends of the world: and looketh on all things that are under heaven.  

 

 

-

25


 

  Who made a weight for the winds and weighed the waters by measure.  

 

 

-

26


 

  When he gave a law for the rain, and a way for the sounding storms.  

 

 

-

27


 

  Then he saw it, and declared, and prepared, and searched it.  

 

 

-

28


 

  And he said to man: Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom: and to depart from evil, is understanding.
