Job 28:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 "There are mines where people get silver and places where people melt gold to make it pure.
2 Iron is dug out of the ground, and copper is melted out of the rocks.
3 Miners carry lights deep into caves to search for these rocks in the deepest darkness.
4 Far from where people live, they dig deep into the ground, down where no one else has been before. There they work all alone, hanging from ropes.
5 Food grows on the ground above. But underground it is different, as if everything were melted by fire.
6 In the rocks there are sapphires and grains of pure gold.
7 Wild birds know nothing about the way to these places. No falcon has ever seen it.
8 Wild animals have never been there. Lions have not traveled that way.
9 Miners dig the hardest rocks. They dig away at the mountains and make them bare.
10 They cut tunnels through the rocks and see all the treasures they hold.
11 They even find places where rivers begin. They bring to light what once was hidden.
12 "But where can anyone find wisdom? Where can we get understanding?
13 People don't know where wisdom is. It cannot be found by anyone on earth.
14 The deep ocean says, 'It's not here with me.' The sea says, 'It's not here with me.'
15 You cannot buy wisdom with even the purest gold. There's not enough silver in the world to pay for it.
16 You cannot buy it with gold from Ophir or with precious onyx or sapphires.
17 Wisdom is worth more than gold or crystal. It cannot be bought with expensive jewels set in gold.
18 It is far more valuable than coral and jasper, more precious than rubies.
19 The topaz from Ethiopia cannot match its value, which is greater than the purest gold.
20 "So where does wisdom come from? Where can we find understanding?
21 Wisdom is hidden from every living thing on earth. Even birds in the sky cannot see it.
22 Death and destruction say, 'We have never seen wisdom; we have only heard rumors about it.'
23 "Only God knows the way to wisdom. Only he knows where wisdom is.
24 He can see to the very ends of the earth. He sees everything under the sky.
25 God gave the wind its power. He decided how big to make the oceans.
26 He decided where to send the rain and where the thunderstorms should go.
27 He looked at wisdom and discussed it. He examined it and saw how much it is worth.
28 Then he said to humans, 'To fear and respect the Lord is wisdom. To turn away from evil is understanding.'"
1 Surely H3588 there is H3426 a vein H4161 for the silver, H3701 and a place H4725 for gold H2091 where they fine H2212 it .
2 Iron H1270 is taken H3947 out of the earth H4480 H6083 , and brass H5154 is molten H6694 out of the stone. H68
3 He setteth H7760 an end H7093 to darkness, H2822 and searcheth out H2713 H1931 all H3605 perfection: H8503 the stones H68 of darkness, H652 and the shadow of death. H6757
4 The flood H5158 breaketh out H6555 from H4480 H5973 the inhabitant; H1481 even the waters forgotten H7911 of H4480 the foot: H7272 they are dried up, H1809 they are gone away H5128 from men H4480 H582 .
5 As for the earth, H776 out of H4480 it cometh H3318 bread: H3899 and under H8478 it is turned up H2015 as it were H3644 fire. H784
6 The stones H68 of it are the place H4725 of sapphires: H5601 and it hath dust H6083 of gold. H2091
7 There is a path H5410 which no H3808 fowl H5861 knoweth, H3045 and which the vulture's H344 eye H5869 hath not H3808 seen: H7805
8 The lion's H7830 whelps H1121 have not H3808 trodden H1869 it, nor H3808 the fierce lion H7826 passed H5710 by H5921 it.
9 He putteth forth H7971 his hand H3027 upon the rock; H2496 he overturneth H2015 the mountains H2022 by the roots H4480 H8328 .
10 He cutteth out H1234 rivers H2975 among the rocks; H6697 and his eye H5869 seeth H7200 every H3605 precious thing. H3366
11 He bindeth H2280 the floods H5104 from overflowing H4480 H1065 ; and the thing that is hid H8587 bringeth he forth H3318 to light. H216
12 But where H4480 H370 shall wisdom H2451 be found H4672 ? and where H335 H2088 is the place H4725 of understanding H998 ?
13 Man H582 knoweth H3045 not H3808 the price H6187 thereof; neither H3808 is it found H4672 in the land H776 of the living. H2416
14 The depth H8415 saith, H559 It H1931 is not H3808 in me : and the sea H3220 saith, H559 It is not H369 with H5978 me.
15 It cannot H3808 be gotten H5414 for gold H2091 H5462, H8478 neither H3808 shall silver H3701 be weighed H8254 for the price H4242 thereof.
16 It cannot H3808 be valued H5541 with the gold H3800 of Ophir, H211 with the precious H3368 onyx, H7718 or the sapphire. H5601
17 The gold H2091 and the crystal H2137 cannot H3808 equal H6186 it : and the exchange H8545 of it shall not be for jewels H3627 of fine gold. H6337
18 No H3808 mention shall be made H2142 of coral, H7215 or of pearls: H1378 for the price H4901 of wisdom H2451 is above rubies H4480 H6443 .
19 The topaz H6357 of Ethiopia H3568 shall not H3808 equal H6186 it, neither H3808 shall it be valued H5541 with pure H2889 gold. H3800
20 Whence H4480 H370 then cometh H935 wisdom H2451 ? and where H335 H2088 is the place H4725 of understanding H998 ?
21 Seeing it is hid H5956 from the eyes H4480 H5869 of all H3605 living, H2416 and kept close H5641 from the fowls H4480 H5775 of the air. H8064
22 Destruction H11 and death H4194 say, H559 We have heard H8085 the fame H8088 thereof with our ears. H241
23 God H430 understandeth H995 the way H1870 thereof , and he H1931 knoweth H3045 H853 the place H4725 thereof.
24 For H3588 he H1931 looketh H5027 to the ends H7098 of the earth, H776 and seeth H7200 under H8478 the whole H3605 heaven; H8064
25 To make H6213 the weight H4948 for the winds; H7307 and he weigheth H8505 the waters H4325 by measure. H4060
26 When he made H6213 a decree H2706 for the rain, H4306 and a way H1870 for the lightning H2385 of the thunder: H6963
27 Then H227 did he see H7200 it , and declare H5608 it ; he prepared H3559 it, yea, H1571 and searched it out. H2713
28 And unto man H120 he said, H559 Behold, H2005 the fear H3374 of the Lord, H136 that H1931 is wisdom; H2451 and to depart H5493 from evil H4480 H7451 is understanding. H998
