22. Destruction and Death say,‘With our ears we have heard a rumor about where it can be found.’
23. God understands the way to it,and he alone knows its place.
24. For he looks to the ends of the earthand observes everything under the heavens.
25. When he made the force of the windand measured the waters with a gauge.
26. When he imposed a limit for the rain,and a path for the thunderstorm,
27. then he looked at wisdom and assessed its value;he established it and examined it closely.
28. And he said to mankind,‘The fear of the Lord – that is wisdom,and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”
