New American Standard Bible
Chapter 28
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, 26When He made a limit for the rain, And a course for the thunderbolt, 27Then He saw it and declared it; He established it and also searched it out. 28And to mankind He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to turn away from evil is understanding.’?'King James Version

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. 26He made the laws for the rain and laid out a path for the lightning. 27Then he saw wisdom and evaluated it. He set it in place and examined it thoroughly. 28And this is what he says to all humanity: ‘The fear of the Lord is true wisdom; to forsake evil is real understanding.’'English Standard Version
