Job - Chapter: 28


28:1	Siluer hath bigynnyngis of his veynes; and a place is to gold, in which it is wellid togidere.
28:2	Irun is takun fro erthe, and a stoon resolued, `ethir meltid, bi heete, is turned in to money.
28:3	God hath set tyme to derknessis, and he biholdith the ende of alle thingis.
28:4	Also a stronde departith a stoon of derknesse, and the schadewe of deth, fro the puple goynge in pilgrymage; it departith tho hillis, whiche the foot of a nedi man foryat, and hillis with out weie.
28:5	The erthe, wher of breed cam forth in his place, is destried bi fier.
28:6	The place of saphir ben stoonys therof, and the clottis therof ben gold.
28:7	A brid knewe not the weie, and the iye of a vultur, ethir rauenouse brid, bihelde it not.
28:8	The sones of marchauntis tretiden not on it, and a lyonesse passide not therbi.
28:9	God stretchide forth his hond to a flynt; he distriede hillis fro the rootis.
28:10	He hewide doun ryuers in stoonys; and his iye siy al precious thing.
28:11	And he souyte out the depthis of floodis; and he brouyte forth hid thingis in to liyt.
28:12	But where is wisdom foundun, and which is the place of vndurstondyng?
28:13	A man noot the prijs therof, nether it is foundun in the lond of men lyuynge swetli, `ether delicatli.
28:14	The depthe of watris seith, It is not in me; and the see spekith, It is not with me.
28:15	Gold ful cleene schal not be youun for wisdom, nether siluer schal be weied in the chaungyng therof.
28:16	It schal not be comparysound to the died colours of Iynde, not to the moost preciouse stoon of sardius, nether to saphir.
28:17	Nether gold, nether glas schal be maad euene worth therto;
28:18	and hiye and fer apperynge vessels of gold schulen not be chaungid for wisdom, nether schulen be had in mynde in comparisoun therof. Forsothe wisdom is drawun of pryuy thingis;
28:19	topasie of Ethiope schal not be maad euene worth to wisdom, and moost preciouse diyngis schulen not be set togidere in prijs, `ether comparisound, therto.
28:20	Therfor wherof cometh wisdom, and which is the place of vndurstondyng?
28:21	It is hid fro the iyen of alle lyuynge men; also it is hid fro briddis of heuene.
28:22	Perdicioun and deeth seiden, With oure eeris we herden the fame therof.
28:23	God vndurstondith the weye therof, and he knowith the place therof.
28:24	For he biholdith the endis of the world, and biholdith alle thingis that ben vndur heuene.
28:25	`Which God made weiyte to wyndis, and weiede watris in mesure.
28:26	Whanne he settide lawe to reyn, and weie to tempestis sownynge;
28:27	thanne he siy wisdom, and telde out, and made redi, and souyte out.
28:28	And he seide to man, Lo! the drede of the Lord, thilke is wisdom; and to go awei fro yuel, is vndurstondyng.


28:1	The siluer surely hath his veyne, and ye gold his place, where they take it.
28:2	Yron is taken out of the dust, and brasse is molten out of the stone.
28:3	God putteth an end to darkenesse, and he tryeth the perfection of all things: he setteth a bond of darkenesse, and of the shadowe of death.
28:4	The flood breaketh out against the inhabitant, and the waters forgotten of the foote, being higher then man, are gone away.
28:5	Out of the same earth commeth bread, and vnder it, as it were fire is turned vp.
28:6	The stones thereof are a place of saphirs, and the dust of it is golde.
28:7	There is a path which no foule hath knowen, neyther hath the kites eye seene it.
28:8	The lyons whelpes haue not walked it, nor the lyon passed thereby.
28:9	He putteth his hand vpon the rockes, and ouerthroweth the mountaines by the rootes.
28:10	He breaketh riuers in the rockes, and his eye seeth euery precious thing.
28:11	He bindeth the floods, that they doe not ouerflowe, and the thing that is hid, bringeth he to light.
28:12	But where is wisdome found? and where is the place of vnderstanding?
28:13	Man knoweth not the price thereof: for it is not found in the land of the liuing.
28:14	The depth sayth, It is not in mee: the sea also sayth, It is not with me.
28:15	Golde shall not be giuen for it, neyther shall siluer be weighed for the price thereof.
28:16	It shall not be valued with the wedge of golde of Ophir, nor with the precious onix, nor the saphir.
28:17	The golde nor the chrystall shall be equall vnto it, nor the exchange shalbe for plate of fine golde.
28:18	No mention shall be made of coral, nor of the gabish: for wisedome is more precious then pearles.
28:19	The Topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equall vnto it, neither shall it be valued with the wedge of pure gold.
28:20	Whence then commeth wisedome? and where is the place of vnderstanding,
28:21	Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all the liuing, and is hid from the foules of the heauen?
28:22	Destruction and death say, We haue heard the fame thereof with our eares.
28:23	But God vnderstandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
28:24	For he beholdeth the endes of the world, and seeth all that is vnder heauen,
28:25	To make the weight of the windes, and to weigh the waters by measure.
28:26	When he made a decree for the rayne, and a way for the lightening of the thunders,
28:27	Then did he see it, and counted it: he prepared it and also considered it.
28:28	And vnto man he said, Behold, the feare of the Lord is wisedome, and to depart from euil is vnderstanding.
