New Testament

Job 28:5-15 American Standard Version (ASV)

5. As for the earth, out of it cometh bread; And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.

6. The stones thereof are the place of sapphires, And it hath dust of gold.

7. That path no bird of prey knoweth, Neither hath the falcon’s eye seen it:

8. The proud beasts have not trodden it, Nor hath the fierce lion passed thereby.

9. He putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock; He overturneth the mountains by the roots.

10. He cutteth out channels among the rocks; And his eye seeth every precious thing.

11. He bindeth the streams that they trickle not; 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 deep 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.
