Job 28:20-28

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

20“Where then does wisdom come from?
And where is this place of understanding?
21“It is hidden from the eyes of every living creature,
And concealed from the birds of the sky.
22“Abaddon and Death say,
‘With our ears we have heard a report of it.’
23“God understands its way,
And He knows its place.
24“For He looks to the ends of the earth;
He sees everything under the heavens.
25“When He imparted weight to the wind,
And assessed the waters by measure,
26When He made a limit for the rain,
And a course for the thunderbolt,
27Then He saw it and declared it;
He established it and also searched it out.
28“And to mankind He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
And to turn away from evil is understanding.’ ”
