Job - douay rheims

Chapter 28

¹ Silver hath beginnings of its veins, and gold hath a place wherein it is melted.
² Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone melted with heat is turned into brass.
³ He hath set a time for darkness, and the end of all things he considereth, the stone also that is in the dark and the shadow of death.
⁴ The flood divideth from the people that are on their journey, those whom the food of the needy man hath forgotten, and who cannot be come at.
⁵ The land, out of which bread grew in its place, hath been overturned with fire.
⁶ The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and the clods of it are gold.
⁷ The bird hath not known the path, neither hath the eye of the vulture beheld it.
⁸ The children of the merchants have not trodden it, neither hath the lioness passed by it.
⁹ He hath stretched forth his hand to the flint, he hath overturned mountains from the roots.
¹⁰ In the rocks he hath cut out rivers, and his eye hath seen every precious thing.
¹¹ The depths also of rivers he hath searched, and hidden things he hath brought forth to light.
¹² But where is wisdom to be found, and where is the place of understanding?
¹³ Man knoweth not the price thereof, neither is it found in the land of them that live in delights.
¹⁴ The depth saith: It is not in me: and the sea saith: It is not with me.
¹⁵ The finest gold shall not purchase it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it
¹⁶ It shall not be compared with the dyed colours of India, or with the most precious stone sardonyx, or the sapphire.
¹⁷ Gold or crystal cannot equal it, neither shall any vessels of gold be changed for it.
¹⁸ High and eminent things shall not be mentioned in comparison of it: but wisdom is drawn out of secret places.
¹⁹ The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equal to it, neither shall it be compared to the cleanest dyeing.
²⁰ Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
²¹ It is hid from the eyes of all living. and the fowls of the air know it not.
²² Destruction and death have said: With our ears we have heard the fame thereof.
²³ God understandeth the way of it, and he knoweth the place thereof.
²⁴ For he beholdeth the ends of the world: and looketh on all things that are under heaven.
²⁵ Who made a weight for the winds and weighed the waters by measure.
²⁶ When he gave a law for the rain, and a way for the sounding storms.
²⁷ Then he saw it, and declared, and prepared, and searched it.
²⁸ And he said to man: Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom: and to depart from evil, is understanding.

Chapter 28

¹ Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
² Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is melted out of the stone.
³ He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shades of death.
⁴ The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant: even the waters forgotten by the foot: they are dried up, they have gone away from men.
⁵ As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
⁶ The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
⁷ There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vultur's eye hath not seen:
⁸ The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
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 he bringeth forth to light.
¹² But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
¹³ Man knoweth not the price of it; 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 obtained for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price of it.
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.
¹⁸ No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
¹⁹ The topaz of Cush shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
²⁰ Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
²¹ Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
²² Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame of it with our ears.
²³ God understandeth the way of it, and he knoweth its place.
²⁴ For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
²⁵ To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
²⁶ When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
²⁷ Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
²⁸ And to man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Chapter 28

¹ Truly there is a mine for silver, and a place where gold is washed out.
² Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone is changed into brass by the fire.
³ Man puts an end to the dark, searching out to the farthest limit the stones of the deep places of the dark.
⁴ He makes a deep mine far away from those living in the light of day; when they go about on the earth, they have no knowledge of those who are under them, who are hanging far from men, twisting from side to side on a cord.
⁵ As for the earth, bread comes out of it; but under its face it is turned up as if by fire.
⁶ Its stones are the place of sapphires, and it has dust of gold.
⁷ No bird has knowledge of it, and the hawk's eye has never seen it.
⁸ The great beasts have not gone over it, and the cruel lion has not taken that way.
⁹ Man puts out his hand on the hard rock, overturning mountains by the roots.
¹⁰ He makes deep ways, cut through the rock, and his eye sees everything of value.
¹¹ He keeps back the streams from flowing, and makes the secret things come out into the light.
¹² But where may wisdom be seen? and where is the resting-place of knowledge?
¹³ Man has not seen the way to it, and it is not in the land of the living.
¹⁴ The deep waters say, It is not in me: and the sea says, It is not with me.
¹⁵ Gold may not be given for it, or a weight of silver in payment for it.
¹⁶ It may not be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the onyx of great price, or the sapphire.
¹⁷ Gold and glass are not equal to it in price, and it may not be exchanged for jewels of the best gold.
¹⁸ There is no need to say anything about coral or crystal; and the value of wisdom is greater than that of pearls.
¹⁹ The topaz of Ethiopia is not equal to it, and it may not be valued with the best gold.
²⁰ From where then does wisdom come, and where is the resting-place of knowledge?
²¹ For it is kept secret from the eyes of all living, unseen by the birds of the air.
²² Destruction and Death say, We have only had word of it with our ears.
²³ God has knowledge of the way to it, and of its resting-place;
²⁴ For his eyes go to the ends of the earth, and he sees everything under heaven.
²⁵ When he made a weight for the wind, measuring out the waters;
²⁶ When he made a law for the rain, and a way for the thunder-flames;
²⁷ Then he saw it, and put it on record; he gave it its fixed form, searching it out completely.
²⁸ And he said to man, Truly the fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to keep from evil is the way to knowledge.
