Job 28:20
King James Version
“Whence then cometh wisdom? and where the place of understanding?”
Context
17The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it jewels of fine gold.
18No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom above rubies.
19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20Whence then cometh wisdom? and where the place of understanding?
21Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
22Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
