18 High things, and crystal, shall not be remembered: and the drawing out of wisdom above pearls. 19 The topaz of Cush shall not compare with it; with pure gold it shall not be weighed. 20 And from whence shall wisdom come? and where this place of understanding? 21 And being hid from the eyes of all living, and covered from the birds of the heavens. 22 Destruction and death said, We heard its report with our ears: 23 God understood its way, and he knew its place. 24 For he will look to the ends of the earth, he will see under all the heavens; 25 To make the weight for the wind; and he weighed the waters by measure. 26 In his making a law for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the voices. 27 Then he saw, and he will recount it; he prepared it, and also he searched it out. 28 And he will say to man, Behold, the fear of Jehovah, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
