SurelyH3426 there is a veinH4161 for the silverH3701, and a placeH4725 for goldH2091 where they fineH2212 it. {vein: or, mine}
IronH1270 is takenH3947 out of the earthH6083, and brassH5154 is moltenH6694 out of the stoneH68. {earth: or, dust}
He settethH7760 an endH7093 to darknessH2822, and searcheth outH2713 all perfectionH8503: the stonesH68 of darknessH652, and the shadow of deathH6757.
The floodH5158 breaketh outH6555 from the inhabitantH1481; even the waters forgottenH7911 of the footH7272: they are dried upH1809, they are gone awayH5128 from menH582.
As for the earthH776, out of it comethH3318 breadH3899: and under it is turned upH2015 as it were fireH784.
The stonesH68 of it are the placeH4725 of sapphiresH5601: and it hath dustH6083 of goldH2091. {dust…: or, gold ore}
There is a pathH5410 which no fowlH5861 knowethH3045, and which the vulture'sH344 eyeH5869 hath not seenH7805:
The lion'sH7830 whelpsH1121 have not troddenH1869 it, nor the fierce lionH7826 passedH5710 by it.
He putteth forthH7971 his handH3027 upon the rockH2496; he overturnethH2015 the mountainsH2022 by the rootsH8328. {rock: or, flint}
He cutteth outH1234 riversH2975 among the rocksH6697; and his eyeH5869 seethH7200 every precious thingH3366.
He bindethH2280 the floodsH5104 from overflowingH1065; and the thing that is hidH8587 bringeth he forthH3318 to lightH216. {overflowing: Heb. weeping}
But whereH370 shall wisdomH2451 be foundH4672? and where is the placeH4725 of understandingH998?
ManH582 knowethH3045 not the priceH6187 thereof; neither is it foundH4672 in the landH776 of the livingH2416.
The depthH8415 saithH559, It is not in me: and the seaH3220 saithH559, It is not with me.
It cannot be gottenH5414 for goldH5458, neither shall silverH3701 be weighedH8254 for the priceH4242 thereof. {It…: Heb. Fine gold shall not be given for it}
It cannot be valuedH5541 with the goldH3800 of OphirH211, with the preciousH3368 onyxH7718, or the sapphireH5601.
The goldH2091 and the crystalH2137 cannot equalH6186 it: and the exchangeH8545 of it shall not be for jewelsH3627 of fine goldH6337. {jewels…: or, vessels of}
No mentionH2142 shall be made of coralH7215, or of pearlsH1378: for the priceH4901 of wisdomH2451 is above rubiesH6443. {coral: or, Ramoth}
The topazH6357 of EthiopiaH3568 shall not equalH6186 it, neither shall it be valuedH5541 with pureH2889 goldH3800.
WhenceH370 then comethH935 wisdomH2451? and where is the placeH4725 of understandingH998?
Seeing it is hidH5956 from the eyesH5869 of all livingH2416, and kept closeH5641 from the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064. {air: or, heaven}
DestructionH11 and deathH4194 sayH559, We have heardH8085 the fameH8088 thereof with our earsH241.
GodH430 understandethH995 the wayH1870 thereof, and he knowethH3045 the placeH4725 thereof.
For he lookethH5027 to the endsH7098 of the earthH776, and seethH7200 under the whole heavenH8064;
To makeH6213 the weightH4948 for the windsH7307; and he weighethH8505 the watersH4325 by measureH4060.
When he madeH6213 a decreeH2706 for the rainH4306, and a wayH1870 for the lightningH2385 of the thunderH6963:
Then did he seeH7200 it, and declareH5608 it; he preparedH3559 it, yea, and searched it outH2713. {declare…: or, number it}
And unto manH120 he saidH559, Behold, the fearH3374 of the LordH136, that is wisdomH2451; and to departH5493 from evilH7451 is understandingH998.

SyriaH758 was thy merchantH5503 by reason of the multitudeH7230 of the wares of thy makingH4639: they occupiedH5414 in thy fairsH5801 with emeraldsH5306, purpleH713, and broidered workH7553, and fine linenH948, and coralH7215, and agateH3539. {the wares…: Heb. thy works} {agate: or, chrysoprase}
