KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Surely there is a
vein
for the
silver, and a place for gold where
they fine
it.
Surely there is for silver a
source
, And a place for the
gold they refine;
Iron is taken out
of
the
earth
, and brass
is
molten
out
of
the stone.
Iron from
the
dust
is taken, And `from'
the firm
stone brass
.
He
setteth
an end to darkness, and searcheth
out
all perfection :
the
stones
of darkness ,
and the
shadow
of
death.
An end hath
he
set
to darkness, And to
all perfection he
is
searching,
A
stone
of darkness and death -shade
.
The
flood
breaketh
out from the
inhabitant;
even
the
waters
forgotten of the foot :
they
are
dried
up
, they are
gone
away
from men
.
A
stream
hath
broken
out from a
sojourner,
Those
forgotten of the foot, They were
low,
from man
they
wandered
.
As
for
the earth ,
out
of
it cometh bread :
and under it
is turned up
as
it
were
fire.
The earth !
from
it cometh forth
bread ,
And its
under -part
is turned like
fire.
The
stones
of
it
are
the
place of sapphires:
and it hath dust of gold.
A
place of the
sapphire
`are'
its
stones,
And it hath dust of gold.
There
is
a path which
no
fowl knoweth
, and
which
the
vulture's
eye
hath not
seen:
A path --
not
known
it
hath
a
ravenous
fowl, Nor
scorched
it
hath an
eye
of
the
kite,
The
lion's
whelps
have
not
trodden it, nor
the fierce lion passed
by
it
.
Nor
trodden it have
the
sons
of
pride
, Not
passed
over
it
hath
the fierce lion.
He putteth
forth his hand upon
the
rock;
he overturneth
the mountains by
the
roots
.
Against
the
flint
he sent
forth his hand ,
He overturned
from
the root
mountains.
He
cutteth
out
rivers
among the
rocks ;
and his
eye
seeth
every precious thing.
Among rocks ,
brooks
he
hath
cleaved,
And every precious thing hath
his
eye
seen
.
He
bindeth
the
floods
from overflowing ;
and the thing that
is
hid
bringeth he
forth
to light.
From overflowing floods
he
hath
bound,
And the hidden
thing bringeth out
`
to '
light.
But
where
shall
wisdom be
found? and where is the place of understanding?
And
the
wisdom --
whence
is
it
found? And where `
is '
this,
the place of understanding?
Man knoweth
not the
price
thereof;
neither
is it found in the land of the living.
Man hath
not known
its
arrangement,
Nor
is it found in the land of the living.
The depth
saith
, It is not in me :
and the sea saith
, It is not with me.
The deep
hath
said
, `
It `
is '
not in me ,'
And the sea hath
said
, `
It is not with me. '
It
cannot
be
gotten
for
gold, neither
shall
silver be
weighed for
the
price thereof
.
Gold is
not
given
for
it
, Nor
is
silver weighed --
its
price.
It cannot
be
valued with the
gold of Ophir, with the
precious onyx ,
or
the
sapphire .
It is
not
valued with pure
gold of Ophir, With precious onyx and
sapphire ,
The
gold
and
the
crystal
cannot
equal it :
and the
exchange of
it
shall
not
be
for
jewels
of fine gold.
Not
equal it do
gold
and crystal,
Nor
`is'
its
exchange a
vessel
of fine gold.
No
mention
shall
be
made
of
coral
, or
of
pearls:
for
the price
of wisdom is above rubies.
Corals
and
pearl
are
not
remembered
, The acquisition
of wisdom `
is '
above rubies.
The
topaz
of
Ethiopia
shall
not equal it, neither
shall
it
be
valued
with pure gold.
Not equal it doth
the
topaz
of
Cush
, With pure gold it
is
not
valued
.
Whence
then
cometh
wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
And
the
wisdom --
whence
doth
it
come
? And where `
is '
this,
the place of understanding?
Seeing
it is
hid from the eyes of all living ,
and kept
close
from the fowls
of the air
.
It hath
been
hid from the eyes of all living .
And from the fowl
of the heavens
It
hath
been
hidden
.
Destruction and death say,
We
have heard
the
fame
thereof
with our ears.
Destruction and death have said:
`
With our ears we
have
heard
its
fame
. '
God understandeth
the
way thereof
, and he knoweth
the
place thereof
.
God hath
understood
its
way, And He hath
known
its
place.
For he looketh
to the ends of the earth, and
seeth
under the whole heaven;
For He to the ends of the earth doth
look
, Under the whole heavens
He
doth
see,
To make the
weight
for the winds;
and he
weigheth
the waters by
measure.
To make for the wind
a
weight,
And the waters He
meted
out
in
measure.
When
he
made
a
decree
for the rain, and a way for the lightning
of the thunder:
In
His
making
for the rain a
limit
, And a way for the brightness
of the voices,
Then did
he see
it,
and declare
it ;
he prepared it, yea,
and searched it out .
Then He hath
seen
and declareth
it ,
He hath
prepared it, and also
searched it out ,
And unto
man
he said,
Behold
, the
fear of the LORD, that is wisdom ;
and to depart
from evil is understanding.
And He saith
to
man:
--
`Lo
, fear of the Lord, that `
is '
wisdom ,
And to turn
from evil `
is '
understanding. '
