| 1 | Surely there is a veine for the siluer, and a place for golde where they fine it. |
| 2 | Iron is taken out of the earth, and brasse is molten out of the stone. |
| 3 | Hee setteth an ende to darkenesse, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkenesse and the shadow of death. |
| 4 | The floud breaketh out from the inhabitant; euen the waters forgotten of the foote: they are dried vp, they are gone away from men. |
| 5 | As for the earth, out of it commeth bread: and vnder it, is turned vp as it were fire. |
| 6 | The stones of it are the place of Saphires: and it hath dust of golde. |
| 7 | There is a path which no foule knoweth, and which the vulturs eye hath not seene. |
| 8 | The lyons whelps haue not troden it, nor the fierce lyon passed by it. |
| 9 | Hee putteth foorth his hand vpon the rocke; hee ouerturneth the mountaines by the rootes. |
| 10 | Hee cutteth out riuers among the rockes, and his eye seeth euery precious thing. |
| 11 | He bindeth the flouds from ouerflowing, and the thing that is hid, bringeth he foorth to light. |
| 12 | But where shall wisedome bee found? and where is the place of vnderstanding? |
| 13 | Man knoweth not the price thereof neither is it found in the land of the liuing. |
| 14 | The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me. |
| 15 | It cannot be gotten for golde, neither shall siluer be weighed for the price thereof. |
| 16 | It cannot be valued with the golde of Ophir, with the precious Onix, or the Saphire. |
| 17 | The golde and the chrystall cannot equall it: and the exchange of it shall not be for iewels of fine golde. |
| 18 | No mention shalbe made of Corall, or of Pearles: for the price of wisedome is aboue Rubies. |
| 19 | The Topaze of Ethiopia shall not equall it, neither shall it be valued with pure golde. |
| 20 | Whence then commeth wisedome? and where is the place of vnderstanding? |
| 21 | Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all liuing, and kept close from the foules of the ayre. |
| 22 | Destruction and death say, Wee haue heard the fame thereof with our eares. |
| 23 | God vnderstandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. |
| 24 | For hee looketh to the endes of the earth, and seeth vnder the whole heauen: |
| 25 | To make the weight for the windes, and he weigheth the waters by measure. |
| 26 | When hee made a decree for the raine, and a way for the lightning of the thunder: |
| 27 | Then did he see it, and declare it, he prepared it, yea and searched it out. |
| 28 | And vnto man he said, Behold, the feare of the Lord, that is wisedome, and to depart from euill, is vnderstanding. |
