Job 28:9-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 28
9
He puts his hand on the flint;
He overturns the mountains at the base.
10
He carves out channels through the rocks,
And his eye sees anything precious.
11
He dams up the streams from flowing,
And brings to light what is hidden.
12
'But where can wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
13
Mankind does not know its value,
Nor is it found in the land of the living.
14
The ocean depth says, ‘It is not in me’;
And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
15
Pure gold cannot be given in exchange for it,
Nor can silver be weighed as its price.
16
It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,
In precious onyx, or sapphire.
17
Gold or glass cannot equal it,
Nor can it be exchanged for articles of pure gold.
King James Version
Chapter 28
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 28
9
The miner uses a flint tool
and turns up ore from the root of the mountains.
10
He cuts out channels in the rocks,
and his eyes spot every treasure.
11
He dams up the streams from flowing
so that he may bring to light what is hidden.
12
But where can wisdom be found,
and where is understanding located?
13
No one can know its value,
since it cannot be found in the land of the living.
14
The ocean depths say, "It’s not in me,"
while the sea declares, "I don’t have it."
15
Gold cannot be exchanged for it,
and silver cannot be weighed out for its price.
16
Wisdom cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,
in precious onyx or lapis lazuli.
17
Gold and glass do not compare with it,
and articles of fine gold cannot be exchanged for it.
New Living Translation
Chapter 28
9
People know how to tear apart flinty rocks
and overturn the roots of mountains.
10
They cut tunnels in the rocks
and uncover precious stones.
11
They dam up the trickling streams
and bring to light the hidden treasures.
12
'But do people know where to find wisdom?
Where can they find understanding?
13
No one knows where to find it,
for it is not found among the living.
14
‘It is not here,’ says the ocean.
‘Nor is it here,’ says the sea.
15
It cannot be bought with gold.
It cannot be purchased with silver.
16
It’s worth more than all the gold of Ophir,
greater than precious onyx or lapis lazuli.
17
Wisdom is more valuable than gold and crystal.
It cannot be purchased with jewels mounted in fine gold.
English Standard Version
Chapter 28
9
"Man puts his hand to the flinty rock
and overturns mountains by the roots.
10
He cuts out channels in the rocks,
and his eye sees every precious thing.
11
He dams up the streams so that they do not trickle,
and the thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
12
"But where shall wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
13
Man does not know its worth,
and it is not found in the land of the living.
14
The deep says, ‘It is not in me,’
and the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
15
It cannot be bought for gold,
and silver cannot be weighed as its price.
16
It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir,
in precious onyx or sapphire.
17
Gold and glass cannot equal it,
nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
New International Version
Chapter 28
9
People assault the flinty rock with their hands
and lay bare the roots of the mountains.
10
They tunnel through the rock;
their eyes see all its treasures.
11
They search the sources of the rivers
and bring hidden things to light.
12
But where can wisdom be found?
Where does understanding dwell?
13
No mortal comprehends its worth;
it cannot be found in the land of the living.
14
The deep says, "It is not in me";
the sea says, "It is not with me."
15
It cannot be bought with the finest gold,
nor can its price be weighed out in silver.
16
It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir,
with precious onyx or lapis lazuli.
17
Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it,
nor can it be had for jewels of gold.
New King James Version

9
He puts his hand on the flint;

hidden he brings forth to light.
12

And where
is
the place of understanding?
13

Nor is it found in the land of the living.
14
The deep says,
‘It is
not in me’;
And the sea says,
‘It is
not with me.’
15
It cannot be purchased for gold,
Nor can silver be weighed
for
its price.

In precious onyx or sapphire.

Nor can it be exchanged for jewelry of fine gold.
