1 “There|strong="H3426" are|strong="H3426" mines where|strong="H4725" people get silver|strong="H3701"
2 Iron|strong="H1270" is|strong="H1270" dug out of|strong="H0068" the|strong="H3947" ground|strong="H6083",
3 Miners carry lights deep|strong="H6757" into|strong="H6757" caves
4 Far from|strong="H4480" where people|strong="H0582" live|strong="H1481", they|strong="H7272" dig deep into|strong="H6555" the|strong="H4480" ground,
5 Food|strong="H3899" grows|strong="H3318" on|strong="H0776" the|strong="H4480" ground|strong="H0776" above|strong="H4480".
6 In|strong="H4725" the|strong="H4725" rocks|strong="H0068" there are|strong="H0068" sapphires|strong="H5601"
7 Wild birds|strong="H5861" know|strong="H3045" nothing|strong="H3808" about|strong="H3045" the|strong="H3045" way to|strong="H5869" these places.
8 Wild animals have|strong="H1121" never|strong="H3808" been|strong="H3808" there.
9 Miners dig the|strong="H7971" hardest rocks.
10 They|strong="H3605" cut tunnels through|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" rocks|strong="H6697"
11 They|strong="H3318" even find places where rivers|strong="H5104" begin.
12 “But where|strong="H0335" can|strong="H0370" anyone find|strong="H4672" wisdom|strong="H2451"?
13 People|strong="H0582" don’t|strong="H3808" know|strong="H3045" where|strong="H3808" wisdom is|strong="H0776".
14 The|strong="H0559" deep|strong="H8415" ocean|strong="H8415" says|strong="H0559", ‘It’s not|strong="H3808" here with|strong="H3220" me|strong="H5978".’
15 You|strong="H5414" cannot|strong="H3808" buy wisdom with|strong="H5414" even|strong="H3808" the|strong="H5414" purest gold|strong="H5458".
16 You|strong="H3808" cannot|strong="H3808" buy it|strong="H3808" with gold|strong="H3800" from|strong="H3808" Ophir|strong="H0211"
17 Wisdom is|strong="H3808" worth more|strong="H3808" than|strong="H3808" gold|strong="H2091" or|strong="H3808" crystal.
18 It|strong="H3808" is|strong="H2451" far more|strong="H3808" valuable than|strong="H3808" coral|strong="H7215" and|strong="H2451" jasper,
19 The|strong="H3808" topaz|strong="H6357" from|strong="H3808" Ethiopia|strong="H3568" cannot|strong="H3808" match its|strong="H3808" value,
20 “So|strong="H0935" where|strong="H0335" does|strong="H2088" wisdom|strong="H2451" come|strong="H0935" from|strong="H0935"?
21 Wisdom is|strong="H3605" hidden|strong="H5641" from|strong="H5869" every|strong="H3605" living|strong="H2416" thing|strong="H3605" on|strong="H3605" earth|strong="H8064".
22 Death|strong="H4194" and|strong="H8085" destruction|strong="H0011" say|strong="H0559",
23 “Only God|strong="H0430" knows|strong="H3045" the|strong="H0853" way|strong="H1870" to|strong="H0430" wisdom.
24 He|strong="H1931" can|strong="H7200" see|strong="H7200" to|strong="H0776" the|strong="H3605" very ends|strong="H7098" of|strong="H0776" the|strong="H3605" earth|strong="H0776".
25 God gave|strong="H6213" the|strong="H6213" wind|strong="H7307" its|strong="H8505" power.
26 He|strong="H6213" decided where to|strong="H1870" send the|strong="H1870" rain|strong="H4306"
27 He|strong="H0227" looked|strong="H7200" at|strong="H7200" wisdom and|strong="H7200" discussed it|strong="H7200".
28 Then|strong="H0559" he|strong="H1931" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0559" humans,
