Job 28:20 Context
18No mention shalbe made of Corall, or of Pearles: for the price of wisedome is aboue Rubies. 19The Topaze of Ethiopia shall not equall it, neither shall it be valued with pure golde. 20Whence then commeth wisedome? and where is the place of vnderstanding? 21Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all liuing, and kept close from the foules of the ayre. 22Destruction and death say, Wee haue heard the fame thereof with our eares.
