Job 28:22
King James VersionSource notes
“Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.”
Context
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.
24For he looketh to the ends of the earth, seeth under the whole heaven;
25To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
