27
God did not choose them, nor give them the way to knowledge;
28
so they perished because they had no wisdom, they perished through their folly.
29
Who has gone up into heaven, and taken her, and brought her down from the clouds?
30
Who has gone over the sea, and found her, and will buy her for pure gold?
31
No one knows the way to her, or is concerned about the path to her.
