Job 28:23
Verse 23 of 28. The 28th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.
19The topaz of Ethiopia will not equal it. It won’t be valued with pure gold.
20Where then does wisdom come from? Where is the place of understanding?
21Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the birds of the sky.
22Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’
23“God understands its way, and he knows its place.
24For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole sky.
25He establishes the force of the wind. Yes, he measures out the waters by measure.
26When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder,
27then he saw it, and declared it. He established it, yes, and searched it out.
