Job - Chapter: 28

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

 

28:1כי ישׁ לכסף מוצא ומקום לזהב יזקו׃
28:2ברזל מעפר יקח ואבן יצוק נחושׁה׃
28:3קץ שׂם לחשׁך ולכל תכלית הוא חוקר אבן אפל וצלמות׃
28:4פרץ נחל מעם גר הנשׁכחים מני רגל דלו מאנושׁ נעו׃
28:5ארץ ממנה יצא לחם ותחתיה נהפך כמו אשׁ׃
28:6מקום ספיר אבניה ועפרת זהב׃
28:7נתיב לא ידעו עיט ולא שׁזפתו עין איה׃
28:8לא הדריכהו בני שׁחץ לא עדה עליו שׁחל׃
28:9בחלמישׁ שׁלח ידו הפך משׁרשׁ הרים׃
28:10בצורות יארים בקע וכל יקר ראתה עינו׃
28:11מבכי נהרות חבשׁ ותעלמה יצא אור׃
28:12והחכמה מאין תמצא ואי זה מקום בינה׃
28:13לא ידע אנושׁ ערכה ולא תמצא בארץ החיים׃
28:14תהום אמר לא בי היא וים אמר אין עמדי׃
28:15לא יתן סגור תחתיה ולא ישׁקל כסף מחירה׃
28:16לא תסלה בכתם אופיר בשׁהם יקר וספיר׃
28:17לא יערכנה זהב וזכוכית ותמורתה כלי פז׃
28:18ראמות וגבישׁ לא יזכר ומשׁך חכמה מפנינים׃
28:19לא יערכנה פטדת כושׁ בכתם טהור לא תסלה׃
28:20והחכמה מאין תבוא ואי זה מקום בינה׃
28:21ונעלמה מעיני כל חי ומעוף השׁמים נסתרה׃
28:22אבדון ומות אמרו באזנינו שׁמענו שׁמעה׃
28:23אלהים הבין דרכה והוא ידע את מקומה׃
28:24כי הוא לקצות הארץ יביט תחת כל השׁמים יראה׃
28:25לעשׂות לרוח משׁקל ומים תכן במדה׃
28:26בעשׂתו למטר חק ודרך לחזיז קלות׃
28:27אז ראה ויספרה הכינה וגם חקרה׃
28:28ויאמר לאדם הן יראת אדני היא חכמה וסור מרע בינה׃

 

28:1Surely there is for silver a source, And a place for the gold they refine;
28:2Iron from the dust is taken, And `from' the firm stone brass.
28:3An end hath he set to darkness, And to all perfection he is searching, A stone of darkness and death-shade.
28:4A stream hath broken out from a sojourner, Those forgotten of the foot, They were low, from man they wandered.
28:5The earth! from it cometh forth bread, And its under-part is turned like fire.
28:6A place of the sapphire `are' its stones, And it hath dust of gold.
28:7A path -- not known it hath a ravenous fowl, Nor scorched it hath an eye of the kite,
28:8Nor trodden it have the sons of pride, Not passed over it hath the fierce lion.
28:9Against the flint he sent forth his hand, He overturned from the root mountains.
28:10Among rocks, brooks he hath cleaved, And every precious thing hath his eye seen.
28:11From overflowing floods he hath bound, And the hidden thing bringeth out `to' light.
28:12And the wisdom -- whence is it found? And where `is' this, the place of understanding?
28:13Man hath not known its arrangement, Nor is it found in the land of the living.
28:14The deep hath said, `It `is' not in me,' And the sea hath said, `It is not with me.'
28:15Gold is not given for it, Nor is silver weighed -- its price.
28:16It is not valued with pure gold of Ophir, With precious onyx and sapphire,
28:17Not equal it do gold and crystal, Nor `is' its exchange a vessel of fine gold.
28:18Corals and pearl are not remembered, The acquisition of wisdom `is' above rubies.
28:19Not equal it doth the topaz of Cush, With pure gold it is not valued.
28:20And the wisdom -- whence doth it come? And where `is' this, the place of understanding?
28:21It hath been hid from the eyes of all living. And from the fowl of the heavens It hath been hidden.
28:22Destruction and death have said: `With our ears we have heard its fame.'
28:23God hath understood its way, And He hath known its place.
28:24For He to the ends of the earth doth look, Under the whole heavens He doth see,
28:25To make for the wind a weight, And the waters He meted out in measure.
28:26In His making for the rain a limit, And a way for the brightness of the voices,
28:27Then He hath seen and declareth it, He hath prepared it, and also searched it out,
28:28And He saith to man: -- `Lo, fear of the Lord, that `is' wisdom, And to turn from evil `is' understanding.'
