Job 28

KJV

1  Surely3588 there is3426 a vein4161 for the silver,3701 and a place4725 for gold2091 where they fine2212 it.

2  Iron1270 is taken3947 out of the earth,4480 6083 and brass5154 is molten6694 out of the stone.68

3  He setteth7760 an end7093 to darkness,2822 and searcheth out2713 1931 all3605 perfection:8503 the stones68 of darkness,652 and the shadow of death.6757

4  The flood5158 breaketh out6555 from4480 5973 the inhabitant;1481 even the waters forgotten7911 of4480 the foot:7272 they are dried up,1809 they are gone away5128 from men.4480 582

5  As for the earth,776 out of4480 it cometh3318 bread:3899 and under8478 it is turned up2015 as it were3644 fire.784

6  The stones68 of it are the place4725 of sapphires:5601 and it hath dust6083 of gold.2091

7  There is a path5410 which no3808 fowl5861 knoweth,3045 and which the vulture's344 eye5869 hath not3808 seen:7805

8  The lion's7830 whelps1121 have not3808 trodden1869 it, nor3808 the fierce lion7826 passed5710 by5921 it.

9  He putteth forth7971 his hand3027 upon the rock;2496 he overturneth2015 the mountains2022 by the roots.4480 8328

10  He cutteth out1234 rivers2975 among the rocks;6697 and his eye5869 seeth7200 every3605 precious thing.3366

11  He bindeth2280 the floods5104 from overflowing;4480 1065 and the thing that is hid8587 bringeth he forth3318 to light.216

12  But where4480 370 shall wisdom2451 be found?4672 and where335 2088 is the place4725 of understanding?998

13  Man582 knoweth3045 not3808 the price6187 thereof; neither3808 is it found4672 in the land776 of the living.2416

14  The depth8415 saith,559 It1931 is not3808 in me: and the sea3220 saith,559 It is not369 with5978 me.

15  It cannot3808 be gotten5414 for gold,2091 5462 8478 neither3808 shall silver3701 be weighed8254 for the price4242 thereof.

16  It cannot3808 be valued5541 with the gold3800 of Ophir,211 with the precious3368 onyx,7718 or the sapphire.5601

17  The gold2091 and the crystal2137 cannot3808 equal6186 it: and the exchange8545 of it shall not be for jewels3627 of fine gold.6337

18  No3808 mention shall be made2142 of coral,7215 or of pearls:1378 for the price4901 of wisdom2451 is above rubies.4480 6443

19  The topaz6357 of Ethiopia3568 shall not3808 equal6186 it, neither3808 shall it be valued5541 with pure2889 gold.3800

20  Whence4480 370 then cometh935 wisdom?2451 and where335 2088 is the place4725 of understanding?998

21  Seeing it is hid5956 from the eyes4480 5869 of all3605 living,2416 and kept close5641 from the fowls4480 5775 of the air.8064

22  Destruction11 and death4194 say,559 We have heard8085 the fame8088 thereof with our ears.241

23  God430 understandeth995 the way1870 thereof, and he1931 knoweth3045 853 the place4725 thereof.

24  For3588 he1931 looketh5027 to the ends7098 of the earth,776 and seeth7200 under8478 the whole3605 heaven;8064

25  To make6213 the weight4948 for the winds;7307 and he weigheth8505 the waters4325 by measure.4060

26  When he made6213 a decree2706 for the rain,4306 and a way1870 for the lightning2385 of the thunder:6963

27  Then227 did he see7200 it, and declare5608 it; he prepared3559 it, yea,1571 and searched it out.2713

28  And unto man120 he said,559 Behold,2005 the fear3374 of the Lord,136 that1931 is wisdom;2451 and to depart5493 from evil4480 7451 is understanding.998

1 ἔστιν γὰρ ἀργυρίῳ τόπος ὅθεν γίνεται τόπος δὲ χρυσίῳ ὅθεν διηθεῖται

2 σίδηρος μὲν γὰρ ἐκ γῆς γίνεται χαλκὸς δὲ ἴσα λίθῳ λατομεῖται

3 τάξιν ἔθετο σκότει καὶ πᾶν πέρας αὐτὸς ἐξακριβάζεται λίθος σκοτία καὶ σκιὰ θανάτου

4 διακοπὴ χειμάρρου ἀπὸ κονίας οἱ δὲ ἐπιλανθανόμενοι ὁδὸν δικαίαν ἠσθένησαν ἐκ βροτῶν

5 γῆ ἐξ αὐτῆς ἐξελεύσεται ἄρτος ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς ἐστράφη ὡσεὶ πῦρ

6 τόπος σαπφείρου οἱ λίθοι αὐτῆς καὶ χῶμα χρυσίον αὐτῷ

7 τρίβος οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτὴν πετεινόν καὶ οὐ παρέβλεψεν αὐτὴν ὀφθαλμὸς γυπός

8 οὐκ ἐπάτησαν αὐτὴν υἱοὶ ἀλαζόνων οὐ παρῆλθεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῆς λέων

9 ἐν ἀκροτόμῳ ἐξέτεινεν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ κατέστρεψεν δὲ ἐκ ῥιζῶν ὄρη

10 δίνας δὲ ποταμῶν ἔρρηξεν πᾶν δὲ ἔντιμον εἶδέν μου ὁ ὀφθαλμός

11 βάθη δὲ ποταμῶν ἀνεκάλυψεν ἔδειξεν δὲ ἑαυτοῦ δύναμιν εἰς φῶς

12 ἡ δὲ σοφία πόθεν εὑρέθη ποῖος δὲ τόπος ἐστὶν τῆς ἐπιστήμης

13 οὐκ οἶδεν βροτὸς ὁδὸν αὐτῆς οὐδὲ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἐν ἀνθρώποις

14 ἄβυσσος εἶπεν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἐμοί καὶ θάλασσα εἶπεν οὐκ ἔστιν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ

15 οὐ δώσει συγκλεισμὸν ἀντ᾽ αὐτῆς καὶ οὐ σταθήσεται ἀργύριον ἀντάλλαγμα αὐτῆς

16 καὶ οὐ συμβασταχθήσεται χρυσίῳ Ωφιρ ἐν ὄνυχι τιμίῳ καὶ σαπφείρῳ

17 οὐκ ἰσωθήσεται αὐτῇ χρυσίον καὶ ὕαλος καὶ τὸ ἄλλαγμα αὐτῆς σκεύη χρυσᾶ

18 μετέωρα καὶ γαβις οὐ μνησθήσεται καὶ ἕλκυσον σοφίαν ὑπὲρ τὰ ἐσώτατα

19 οὐκ ἰσωθήσεται αὐτῇ τοπάζιον Αἰθιοπίας χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ οὐ συμβασταχθήσεται

20 ἡ δὲ σοφία πόθεν εὑρέθη ποῖος δὲ τόπος ἐστὶν τῆς συνέσεως

21 λέληθεν πάντα ἄνθρωπον καὶ ἀπὸ πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐκρύβη

22 ἡ ἀπώλεια καὶ ὁ θάνατος εἶπαν ἀκηκόαμεν δὲ αὐτῆς τὸ κλέος

23 ὁ θεὸς εὖ συνέστησεν αὐτῆς τὴν ὁδόν αὐτὸς δὲ οἶδεν τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς

24 αὐτὸς γὰρ τὴν ὑπ᾽ οὐρανὸν πᾶσαν ἐφορᾷ εἰδὼς τὰ ἐν τῇ γῇ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν

25 ἀνέμων σταθμὸν ὕδατός τε μέτρα

26 ὅτε ἐποίησεν οὕτως ὑετὸν ἠρίθμησεν καὶ ὁδὸν ἐν τινάγματι φωνάς

27 τότε εἶδεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξηγήσατο αὐτήν ἑτοιμάσας ἐξιχνίασεν

28 εἶπεν δὲ ἀνθρώπῳ ἰδοὺ ἡ θεοσέβειά ἐστιν σοφία τὸ δὲ ἀπέχεσθαι ἀπὸ κακῶν ἐστιν ἐπιστήμη

Vul

1 [Habet argentum venarum suarum principia,
et auro locus est in quo conflatur.

2 Ferrum de terra tollitur,
et lapis solutus calore in æs 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 hominis, et invios.

5 Terra de qua oriebatur panis,
in loco suo igni subversa est.

6 Locus sapphiri lapides ejus,
et glebæ illius aurum.

7 Semitam ignoravit avis,
nec intuitus est eam oculus vulturis.

8 Non calcaverunt eam filii institorum,
nec pertransivit per eam leæna.

9 Ad silicem extendit manum suam:
subvertit a radicibus montes.

10 In petris rivos excidit,
et omne pretiosum vidit oculus ejus.

11 Profunda quoque fluviorum scrutatus est,
et abscondita in lucem produxit.

12 Sapientia vero ubi invenitur?
et quis est locus intelligentiæ?

13 Nescit homo pretium ejus,
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 appendetur argentum in commutatione ejus.

16 Non conferetur tinctis Indiæ coloribus,
nec lapidi sardonycho pretiosissimo vel sapphiro.

17 Non adæquabitur ei aurum vel vitrum,
nec commutabuntur pro ea vasa auri.

18 Excelsa et eminentia non memorabuntur comparatione ejus:
trahitur autem sapientia de occultis.

19 Non adæquabitur ei topazius de Æthiopia,
nec tincturæ mundissimæ componetur.

20 Unde ergo sapientia venit?
et quis est locus intelligentiæ?

21 Abscondita est ab oculis omnium viventium:
volucres quoque cæli latet.

22 Perditio et mors dixerunt:
Auribus nostris audivimus famam ejus.

23 Deus intelligit viam ejus,
et ipse novit locum illius.

24 Ipse enim fines mundi intuetur,
et omnia quæ sub cælo sunt respicit.

25 Qui fecit ventis pondus,
et aquas appendit in mensura.

26 Quando ponebat pluviis legem,
et viam procellis sonantibus:

27 tunc vidit illam et enarravit,
et præparavit, et investigavit.

28 Et dixit homini: Ecce timor Domini, ipsa est sapientia;
et recedere a malo, intelligentia.]
