Job 28

The Message Bible MSG

1 "We all know how silver seams the rocks, we've seen the stuff from which gold is refined,

2 We're aware of how iron is dug out of the ground and copper is smelted from rock.

3 Miners penetrate the earth's darkness, searching the roots of the mountains for ore, digging away in the suffocating darkness.

4 Far from civilization, far from the traffic, they cut a shaft, and are lowered into it by ropes.

5 Earth's surface is a field for grain, but its depths are a forge

6 Firing sapphires from stones and chiseling gold from rocks.

7 Vultures are blind to its riches, hawks never lay eyes on it.

8 Wild animals are oblivious to it, lions don't know it's there.

9 Miners hammer away at the rock, they uproot the mountains.

10 They tunnel through the rock and find all kinds of beautiful gems.

11 They discover the origins of rivers, and bring earth's secrets to light.

12 "But where, oh where, will they find Wisdom? Where does Insight hide?

13 Mortals don't have a clue, haven't the slightest idea where to look.

14 Earth's depths say, 'It's not here'; ocean deeps echo, 'Never heard of it.'

15 It can't be bought with the finest gold; no amount of silver can get it.

16 Even famous Ophir gold can't buy it, not even diamonds and sapphires.

17 Neither gold nor emeralds are comparable; extravagant jewelry can't touch it.

18 Pearl necklaces and ruby bracelets - why bother? None of this is even a down payment on Wisdom!

19 Pile gold and African diamonds as high as you will, they can't hold a candle to Wisdom.

20 "So where does Wisdom come from? And where does Insight live?

21 It can't be found by looking, no matter how deep you dig, no matter how high you fly.

22 If you search through the graveyard and question the dead, they say, 'We've only heard rumors of it.'

23 "God alone knows the way to Wisdom, he knows the exact place to find it.

24 He knows where everything is on earth, he sees everything under heaven.

25 After he commanded the winds to blow and measured out the waters,

26 Arranged for the rain and set off explosions of thunder and lightning,

27 He focused on Wisdom, made sure it was all set and tested and ready.

28 Then he addressed the human race: 'Here it is! Fear-of-the-Lord - that's Wisdom, and Insight means shunning evil.'"

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 habet argentum venarum suarum principia et auro locus est in quo conflatur

2 ferrum de terra tollitur et lapis solutus calore in aes vertitur

3 tempus posuit tenebris et universorum finem ipse considerat lapidem quoque caliginis et umbram mortis

4 dividit torrens a populo peregrinante eos quos oblitus est pes egentis hominum et invios

5 terra de qua oriebatur panis in loco suo igne subversa est

6 locus sapphyri lapides eius et glebae illius aurum

7 semitam ignoravit avis nec intuitus est oculus vulturis

8 non calcaverunt eam filii institorum nec pertransivit per eam leaena

9 ad silicem extendit manum suam subvertit a radicibus montes

10 in petris rivos excidit et omne pretiosum vidit oculus eius

11 profunda quoque fluviorum scrutatus est et abscondita produxit in lucem

12 sapientia vero ubi invenitur et quis est locus intellegentiae

13 nescit homo pretium eius nec invenitur in terra suaviter viventium

14 abyssus dicit non est in me et mare loquitur non est mecum

15 non dabitur aurum obrizum pro ea nec adpendetur argentum in commutatione eius

16 non conferetur tinctis Indiae coloribus nec lapidi sardonico pretiosissimo vel sapphyro

17 non adaequabitur ei aurum vel vitrum nec commutabuntur pro ea vasa auri

18 excelsa et eminentia non memorabuntur conparatione eius trahitur autem sapientia de occultis

19 non adaequabitur ei topazium de Aethiopia nec tincturae mundissimae conponetur

20 unde ergo sapientia veniet et quis est locus intellegentiae

21 abscondita est ab oculis omnium viventium volucres quoque caeli latet

22 perditio et mors dixerunt auribus nostris audivimus famam eius

23 Deus intellegit viam eius et ipse novit locum illius

24 ipse enim fines mundi intuetur et omnia quae sub caelo sunt respicit

25 qui fecit ventis pondus et aquas adpendit mensura

26 quando ponebat pluviis legem et viam procellis sonantibus

27 tunc vidit illam et enarravit et praeparavit et investigavit

28 et dixit homini ecce timor Domini ipsa est sapientia et recedere a malo intellegentia
