1 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it. Cross refs
2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone. Cross refs
3 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death. Cross refs
4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men. Cross refs
5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire. Cross refs
6 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold. Cross refs
7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen: Cross refs
8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. Cross refs
9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots. Cross refs
10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing. Cross refs
11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light. Cross refs
12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? Cross refs
13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. Cross refs
14 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me. Cross refs
15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof. Cross refs
16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. Cross refs
17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold. Cross refs
18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies. Cross refs
19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. Cross refs
20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? Cross refs
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. Cross refs
22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. Cross refs
23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. Cross refs
24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; Cross refs
25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure. Cross refs
26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder: Cross refs
27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out. Cross refs
28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. Cross refs
