Easy-to-Read Version
Job 28:23-28
“Only God knows the way to wisdom. Only he knows where wisdom is. He can see to the very ends of the earth. He sees everything under the sky. God gave the wind its power. He decided how big to make the oceans. He decided where to send the rain and where the thunderstorms should go. He looked at wisdom and discussed it. He examined it and saw how much it is worth. Then he said to humans, ‘To fear and respect the Lord is wisdom. To turn away from evil is understanding.’”
