Job 28:23-28

Revised Standard Version RSV

23 "God understands the way to it, and he knows its place.

24 For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees everything under the heavens.

25 When he gave to the wind its weight, and meted out the waters by measure;

26 when he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder;

27 then he saw it and declared it; he established it, and searched it out.

28 And he said to man, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.'"

New International Version NIV

23 God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwells,

24 for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.

25 When he established the force of the wind and measured out the waters,

26 when he made a decree for the rain and a path for the thunderstorm,

27 then he looked at wisdom and appraised it; he confirmed it and tested it.

28 And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”
