“From where, then, does wisdom come?
        And where is the place of understanding?
    It is hidden from the eyes of all living
        and concealed from the birds of the air.
    Abaddon and Death say,
        ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’
        
    “God understands the way to it,
        and he knows its place.
    For he looks to the ends of the earth
        and sees everything under the heavens. . . .
   And he said to man,
    ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
        and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”

 (Job 28:20–24, 28)
