Bible verse
But where can wisdom be found, and where does understanding dwell?
Job 28:12 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 28.
8 Proud beasts have never trodden it; no lion has ever prowled over it.
9 The miner strikes the flint; he overturns mountains at their base.
10 He hews out channels in the rocks, and his eyes spot every treasure.
11 He stops up the sources of the streams to bring what is hidden to light.
12 But where can wisdom be found, and where does understanding dwell?
13 No man can know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living.
14 The ocean depths say, ‘It is not in me,’ while the sea declares, ‘It is not with me.’
15 It cannot be bought with gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.
16 It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire.
