Job 28:21-28 ▼

21 It has been hid from the eyes of all living. And from the bird of the heavens || It has been hidden.

22 Destruction and death have said: With our ears we have heard its fame.

23 God has understood its way, || And He has known its place.

24 For He looks to the ends of the earth, || He sees under the whole heavens,

25 To make a weight for the wind, || And He meted out the waters in measure.

26 In His making for the rain a limit, || And a way for the brightness of the voices,

27 Then He has seen and declares it, || He has prepared it, and also searched it out,

28 And He says to man: Behold, fear of the Lord, that [is] wisdom, || And to turn from evil [is] understanding.”
