[an error occurred while processing this directive]New International Version
1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1There is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2Iron is taken from the earth, and copper is smelted from ore.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3Mortals put an end to the darkness; they search out the farthest recesses for ore in the blackest darkness.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4Far from human dwellings they cut a shaft, in places untouched by human feet; far from other people they dangle and sway.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5The earth, from which food comes, is transformed below as by fire;
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6lapis lazuli comes from its rocks, and its dust contains nuggets of gold.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7No bird of prey knows that hidden path, no falcon's eye has seen it.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8Proud beasts do not set foot on it, and no lion prowls there.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9People assault the flinty rock with their hands and lay bare the roots of the mountains.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10They tunnel through the rock; their eyes see all its treasures.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11They search the sources of the rivers and bring hidden things to light.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell?
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13No mortal comprehends its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14The deep says, "It is not in me"; the sea says, "It is not with me."
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir, with precious onyx or lapis lazuli.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it, nor can it be had for jewels of gold.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be bought with pure gold.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell?
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds in the sky.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22Destruction and Death say, "Only a rumor of it has reached our ears."
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwells,
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25When he established the force of the wind and measured out the waters,
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26when he made a decree for the rain and a path for the thunderstorm,
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27then he looked at wisdom and appraised it; he confirmed it and tested it.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28And he said to the human race, "The fear of the Lord--that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding."
