Job 28 (BPH)

1 Guld og sølv finder man i jorden,og mennesker forstår at rense det for urenheder. 2 Malm hentes op fra jordens dybder,man smelter det og frembringer jern og kobber. 3 Folk udforsker jordens indre,de leder med lys og lygtefor at nå frem til den dyrebare malm. 4 Fjernt fra alle byer og alfarvejgraver de dybe skakter i jordenog svinger frem og tilbage i rebene. 5 På jordens overflade dyrker man korn,mens man uddrager skatte fra dens indre. 6 Mennesker har lært at finde ædelstenog udvinde guldstøv fra klippegrunden, 7 skatte, som er skjult selv for falkens blik,gemt væk udenfor rovfuglenes rækkevidde. 8 De findes på steder, hvor ingen rovdyr kommer,hvor selv dyrenes konge aldrig sætter sin fod. 9 Mennesker hugger sig vej gennem klipper af flintog underminerer et bjerg, så det falder. 10 I klipperne hugger man gangeog finder mange slags kostbarheder. 11 Mennesker udforsker de underjordiske kilderog bringer skjulte skatte frem i lyset. 12 Men hvor finder mennesker visdom?Hvor går man hen og graver klogskab frem? 13 Ingen kender vejen til visdommens kilde,for den findes ikke i de levendes land. 14 Afgrunden hvisker: ‚Den er ikke her!’Havdybet bruser: ‚Heller ikke hos mig!’ 15 Visdom kan ej købes for det fineste guld,dens værdi kan ikke afvejes i sølv. 16 Den kan ikke betales med guld fra Ofir,med de dyreste smykkesten eller safirer. 17 Man kan ikke bytte sig til den for skåle af guldeller for det fineste krystal. 18 Visdom er mere værd end flotte korallerog kostbare perler. 19 Topas fra Nubien er ikke nok,det ædleste guld hjælper ingenting. 20 Hvor kommer visdommen fra?Hvor er klogskabens hjemsted? 21 Den er skjult for både dyr og mennesker,selv himlens fugle kan ikke få øje på den. 22 Døden og dødsriget siger:‚Vi har hørt et rygte om, hvor den findes.’ 23 Men kun Gud kender vejen derhen,han alene ved, hvor den findes, 24 for han skuer ud over jorden,han ser alt, hvad der sker under himlen. 25 Han satte grænser for vindens styrkeog afmålte mængden af vand i havet. 26 Han fastsatte de naturlove,der styrer regnen og tordenvejret. 27 Derefter så han på visdommenog undersøgte den nøje.Han vurderede den omhyggeligtog fastsatte dens værdi. 28 Til sidst sagde han til mennesket:‚Hør godt efter!Visdom er at have ærefrygt for Herren.Klogskab er at tage afstand fra det onde.’ ”
