5. As for the earth, out of it comes bread;Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
6. Sapphires come from its rocks.It has dust of gold.
7. That path no bird of prey knows,neither has the falcon’s eye seen it.
8. The proud animals have not trodden it,nor has the fierce lion passed by there.
9. He puts his hand on the flinty rock,and he overturns the mountains by the roots.
10. He cuts out channels amongst the rocks.His eye sees every precious thing.
11. He binds the streams that they don’t trickle.The thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
12. “But where shall wisdom be found?Where is the place of understanding?
13. Man doesn’t know its price;Neither is it found in the land of the living.
14. The deep says, ‘It isn’t in me.’The sea says, ‘It isn’t with me.’
15. It can’t be gotten for gold,neither shall silver be weighed for its price.
16. It can’t be valued with the gold of Ophir,with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17. Gold and glass can’t equal it,neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
