Job 28:19-25
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 28

19The topaz of Cush cannot equal it, Nor can it be valued in pure gold. 20Where then does wisdom come from? And where is this place of understanding? 21It 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. 24For He looks to the ends of the earth; He sees everything under the heavens. 25When He imparted weight to the wind, And assessed the waters by measure,
King James Version

Chapter 28

19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. 20Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
22Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
24For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
25To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.

New Living Translation

Chapter 28

19Precious peridot from Ethiopia cannot be exchanged for it. It’s worth more than the purest gold.
20'But do people know where to find wisdom? Where can they find understanding? 21It is hidden from the eyes of all humanity. Even the sharp-eyed birds in the sky cannot discover it. 22Destruction and Death say, ‘We’ve heard only rumors of where wisdom can be found.’
23'God alone understands the way to wisdom; he knows where it can be found, 24for he looks throughout the whole earth and sees everything under the heavens. 25He decided how hard the winds should blow and how much rain should fall.
