KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)
1 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
3 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
6 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:
8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
1 Surely there is a veine for the siluer, and a place for golde where they fine it.
2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brasse is molten out of the stone.
3 Hee setteth an ende to darkenesse, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkenesse and the shadow of death.
4 The floud breaketh out from the inhabitant; euen the waters forgotten of the foote: they are dried vp, they are gone away from men.
5 As for the earth, out of it commeth bread: and vnder it, is turned vp as it were fire.
6 The stones of it are the place of Saphires: and it hath dust of golde.
7 There is a path which no foule knoweth, and which the vulturs eye hath not seene.
8 The lyons whelps haue not troden it, nor the fierce lyon passed by it.
9 Hee putteth foorth his hand vpon the rocke; hee ouerturneth the mountaines by the rootes.
10 Hee cutteth out riuers among the rockes, and his eye seeth euery precious thing.
11 He bindeth the flouds from ouerflowing, and the thing that is hid, bringeth he foorth to light.
12 But where shall wisedome bee found? and where is the place of vnderstanding?
13 Man knoweth not the price thereof neither is it found in the land of the liuing.
14 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
15 It cannot be gotten for golde, neither shall siluer be weighed for the price thereof.
16 It cannot be valued with the golde of Ophir, with the precious Onix, or the Saphire.
17 The golde and the chrystall cannot equall it: and the exchange of it shall not be for iewels of fine golde.
18 No mention shalbe made of Corall, or of Pearles: for the price of wisedome is aboue Rubies.
19 The Topaze of Ethiopia shall not equall it, neither shall it be valued with pure golde.
20 Whence then commeth wisedome? and where is the place of vnderstanding?
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all liuing, and kept close from the foules of the ayre.
22 Destruction and death say, Wee haue heard the fame thereof with our eares.
23 God vnderstandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
24 For hee looketh to the endes of the earth, and seeth vnder the whole heauen:
25 To make the weight for the windes, and he weigheth the waters by measure.
26 When hee made a decree for the raine, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
27 Then did he see it, and declare it, he prepared it, yea and searched it out.
28 And vnto man he said, Behold, the feare of the Lord, that is wisedome, and to depart from euill, is vnderstanding.
