Job 28:13

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

“Pure gold cannot be given in exchange for it,
Nor can silver be weighed as its price.

They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;

Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

The law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

For her profit is better than the profit of silver
And her gain better than fine gold.

“For wisdom is better than jewels;
And all desirable things cannot compare with her.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.

Buy truth, and do not sell it,

Get wisdom and instruction and understanding.

When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the task which has been done on the earth (even though one should

never sleep day or night),

“Thus it is hidden from the eyes of all living
And concealed from the birds of the sky.

But God will break you down forever;

He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent,
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah.

I said, “I will not see the Lord,
The Lord

in the land of the living;

I will look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.

By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off out of the land of the living

For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
