21. It is hidden from human eyesand even from birds.
22. Death and destructionhave merely heard rumoursabout where it is found.
23. God is the only one who knowsthe way to wisdom,
24. because he sees everythingbeneath the heavens.
25. When God divided outthe wind and the water,
26. and when he decided the pathfor rain and lightning,
27. he also determined the truthand defined wisdom.
28. God told us, “Wisdom meansthat you respect me, the Lord,and turn from sin.”
