1: SurelyH3588 there isH3426 for silver,H3701 a mineH4161 and a placeH4725 goldH2091 [where] is refined.H2212

2: IronH1270 from the earth,H6083 is takenH3947 and [from] oreH0068 [is] smeltedH6694 copper.H5154

3: An endH7093 [Man] putsH7760 to darkness,H2822 and everyH3605 recess-H8503 heH1931 searchesH2713 for oreH0068 in the darkness,H0652 and the shadow death.H6757

4: He breaks openH6555 a shaftH5158 away fromH5973 people-H1481 [In places] forgottenH7911 byH4480 feet-H7272 they hang far away,H1809 from menH0582 they swing to and fro.H5128

5: [As for] the earth,H0776 from itH4480 comesH3318 bread,H3899 but underneath itH8478 is turned upH2015 as byH3644 fire.H0784

6: The sourceH4725 of sapphires,H5601 Its stones [are]H0068 and [contains] dustH6083 goldH2091

7: [That] pathH5410 noH3808 knows,H3045 birdH5861 norH3808 has seen it-H7805 the eyeH5869 of falcon.H0344

8: NotH3808 have trodden itH1869 whelpsH1121 the proud lionsH7830 norH3808 has passedH5710 over itH5921 the fierce lion.H7826

9: On the flint-H2496 He putsH7971 his handH3027 He overturnsH2015 at the rootsH8328 the mountains.H2022

10: In the rocks-H6697 channelsH2975 He cuts outH1234 and everyH3605 precious thingH3366 seesH7200 his eye.H5869

11: From trickling-H1065 the streamsH5104 He dams upH2280 and [What is] hiddenH8587 he brings forthH3318 to light.H0216

12: But wisdomH2451 whereH0370 can be found?H4672 and whereH0335 [is]H2088 the placeH4725 of understanding?H0998

13: notH3808 does knowH3045 ManH0582 its valueH6187 norH3808 is it foundH4672 in the landH0776 of the living.H2416

14: The deepH8415 says,H0559 notH3808 it [is]H1931 and the seaH3220 says,H0559 [it is] notH0369 with me.H5978

15: CannotH3808 it be purchasedH5414 goldH5458 for goldH8478 norH3808 can be weighedH8254 silverH3701 [for] its price.H4242

16: CannotH3808 it be valuedH5541 in the goldH3800 of Ophir,H0211 in onyx,H7718 preciousH3368 or sapphire.H5601

17: NeitherH3808 can equal itH6186 goldH2091 nor crystalH2137 nor can it be exchanged forH8545 jewelryH3627 of fine gold.H6337

18: Of coral,H7215 or quartz-H1378 NoH3808 mention shall be madeH2142 for the priceH4901 of wisdom [is]H2451 above rubies.H6443

19: CannotH3808 equal itH6186 the topazH6357 of EthiopiaH3568 in gold.H3800 PureH2889 norH3808 can it be valued.H5541

20: Then wisdom?H2451 from whereH0370 does comeH0935 and where [is]H0335 -H2088 the placeH4725 of understanding?H0998

21: and it is hiddenH5956 from the eyesH5869 of allH3605 living,H2416 and from the birdsH5775 of the airH8064 concealed.H5641

22: DestructionH0011 and DeathH4194 say,H0559 with our earsH0241 we have heardH8085 a report about it.H8088

23: GodH0430 understandsH0995 its wayH1870 and HeH1931 knowsH3045 -H0853 its place.H4725

24: ForH3588 HeH1931 to the endsH7098 of the earth,H0776 looksH5027 underH8478 wholeH3605 the heavens-H8064 [And] sees.H7200

25: To establishH6213 for the wind-H7307 a weightH4948 and the watersH4325 apportionH8505 by measure.H4060

26: When He madeH6213 for the rain,H4306 a lawH2706 and a pathH1870 forH2385 the thunderbolt,H6963

27: thenH0227 He saw [wisdom]H7200 and declared itH5608 He prepared itH3559 and indeed,H1571 He searched it out.H2713

28: And He said,H0559 to manH0120 behold,H2005 the fearH3374 of the Lord,H0136 that [is]H1931 wisdom-H2451 and to departH5493 from evilH7451 [is] understanding.H0998
