Job 28:6-14 New English Translation (NET)

6. a place whose stones are sapphiresand which contains dust of gold;

7. a hidden path no bird of prey knows – no falcon’s eye has spotted it.

8. Proud beasts have not set foot on it,and no lion has passed along it.

9. On the flinty rock man has set to work with his hand;he has overturned mountains at their bases.

10. He has cut out channels through the rocks;his eyes have spotted every precious thing.

11. He has searched the sources of the riversand what was hidden he has brought into the light.

12. “But wisdom – where can it be found?Where is the place of understanding?

13. Mankind does not know its place;it cannot be found in the land of the living.

14. The deep says, ‘It is not with me.’And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
