4	פָּ֤רַץ נַ֨חַל ׀ מֵֽעִם־ גָּ֗ר הַֽנִּשְׁכָּחִ֥ים מִנִּי־ רָ֑גֶל דַּ֖לּוּ מֵאֱנ֣וֹשׁ נָֽעוּ׃	He opens shafts in a valley away from where anyone lives; they are forgotten by travelers; they hang in the air, far away from mankind; they swing to and fro.	Far from human dwellings they cut a shaft, in places untouched by human feet; far from other people they dangle and sway.
5	אֶ֗רֶץ מִמֶּ֥נָּה יֵֽצֵא־ לָ֑חֶם וְ֝תַחְתֶּ֗יהָ נֶהְפַּ֥ךְ כְּמוֹ־ אֵֽשׁ׃	As for the earth, out of it comes bread, but underneath it is turned up as by fire.	The earth, from which food comes, is transformed below as by fire;
6	מְקוֹם־ סַפִּ֥יר אֲבָנֶ֑יהָ וְעַפְרֹ֖ת זָהָ֣ב לֽוֹ׃	Its stones are the place of sapphires, and it has dust of gold.	lapis lazuli comes from its rocks, and its dust contains nuggets of gold.
7	נָ֭תִיב לֹֽא־ יְדָ֣עוֹ עָ֑יִט וְלֹ֥א שְׁ֝זָפַ֗תּוּ עֵ֣ין אַיָּֽה׃	“That path no bird of prey knows, and the falcon’s eye has not seen it.	No bird of prey knows that hidden path, no falcon’s eye has seen it.
8	לֹֽא־ הִדְרִיכֻ֥הוּ בְנֵי־ שָׁ֑חַץ לֹֽא־ עָדָ֖ה עָלָ֣יו שָֽׁחַל׃	The proud beasts have not trodden it; the lion has not passed over it.	Proud beasts do not set foot on it, and no lion prowls there.
9	בַּֽ֭חַלָּמִישׁ שָׁלַ֣ח יָד֑וֹ הָפַ֖ךְ מִשֹּׁ֣רֶשׁ הָרִֽים׃	“Man puts his hand to the flinty rock and overturns mountains by the roots.	People assault the flinty rock with their hands and lay bare the roots of the mountains.
10	בַּ֭צּוּרוֹת יְאֹרִ֣ים בִּקֵּ֑עַ וְכָל־ יְ֝קָ֗ר רָאֲתָ֥ה עֵינֽוֹ׃	He cuts out channels in the rocks, and his eye sees every precious thing.	They tunnel through the rock; their eyes see all its treasures.
11	מִ֭בְּכִי נְהָר֣וֹת חִבֵּ֑שׁ יֹ֣צִא אֽוֹר׃ פ	He dams up the streams so that they do not trickle, and the thing that is hidden he brings out to light.	They search the sources of the rivers and bring hidden things to light.
12	וְֽ֭הַחָכְמָה מֵאַ֣יִן תִּמָּצֵ֑א וְאֵ֥י זֶ֝ה מְק֣וֹם בִּינָֽה׃	“But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?	But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell?

14	תְּה֣וֹם אָ֭מַר לֹ֣א בִי־ הִ֑יא וְיָ֥ם אָ֝מַ֗ר אֵ֣ין עִמָּדִֽי׃	The deep says, ‘It is not in me,’ and the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’	The deep says, “It is not in me\|; the sea says, “It is not with me.”
15	לֹא־ יֻתַּ֣ן סְג֣וֹר תַּחְתֶּ֑יהָ וְלֹ֥א יִ֝שָּׁקֵ֗ל כֶּ֣סֶף מְחִירָֽהּ׃	It cannot be bought for gold, and silver cannot be weighed as its price.	It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.

18	רָאמ֣וֹת וְ֭גָבִישׁ לֹ֣א יִזָּכֵ֑ר וּמֶ֥שֶׁךְ חָ֝כְמָ֗ה מִפְּנִינִֽים׃	No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal; the price of wisdom is above pearls.	Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.
19	לֹֽא־ יַ֭עַרְכֶנָּה פִּטְדַת־ כּ֑וּשׁ בְּכֶ֥תֶם טָ֝ה֗וֹר לֹ֣א תְסֻלֶּֽה׃ פ	The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it, nor can it be valued in pure gold.	The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be bought with pure gold.
20	וְֽ֭הַחָכְמָה מֵאַ֣יִן תָּב֑וֹא וְאֵ֥י זֶ֝֗ה מְק֣וֹם בִּינָֽה׃	“From where, then, does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?	Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell?

26	בַּעֲשֹׂת֣וֹ‪‬ לַמָּטָ֣ר חֹ֑ק וְ֝דֶ֗רֶךְ לַחֲזִ֥יז קֹלֽוֹת׃	when he made a decree for the rain and a way for the lightning of the thunder,	when he made a decree for the rain and a path for the thunderstorm,
27	אָ֣ז רָ֭אָהּ וַֽיְסַפְּרָ֑הּ הֱ֝כִינָ֗הּ וְגַם־ חֲקָרָֽהּ׃	then he saw it and declared it; he established it, and searched it out.	then he looked at wisdom and appraised it; he confirmed it and tested it.
28	וַיֹּ֤אמֶר ׀ לָֽאָדָ֗ם הֵ֤ן יִרְאַ֣ת אֲ֭דֹנָי הִ֣יא חָכְמָ֑ה וְס֖וּר מֵרָ֣ע בִּינָֽה׃ ס	And he said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”	And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”
