Job 28:8
Verse 8 of 28. The 28th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.
4He breaks open a shaft away from where people live. They are forgotten by the foot. They hang far from men, they swing back and forth.
5As for the earth, out of it comes bread. Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
6Sapphires come from its rocks. It has dust of gold.
7That path no bird of prey knows, neither has the falcon’s eye seen it.
8The proud animals have not trodden it, nor has the fierce lion passed by there.
9He puts his hand on the flinty rock, and he overturns the mountains by the roots.
10He cuts out channels among the rocks. His eye sees every precious thing.
11He binds the streams that they don’t trickle. The thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
12“But where will wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?
