New Testament

Job 28:21-28 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

21. It's hidden from the eyes of every living thing. Even the birds of the air can't find it.

22. Death and the Grave say, 'Only reports about it have reached our ears.'

23. But God understands the way to it. He's the only one who knows where it lives.

24. He sees from one end of the earth to the other. He views everything in the world.

25. He made the mighty wind. He measured out the waters.

26. He gave orders for the rain to fall. He made paths for the thunderstorms.

27. Then he looked at wisdom and set its price. He established it and put it to the test.

28. He said to human beings, 'Have respect for me. That will prove you are wise. Avoid evil. That will show you have understanding.' "
