Job 28:23-28
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 “God understands the way to it,
and he knows its place.(A)
24 For he looks to the ends of the earth
and sees everything under the heavens.(B)
25 When he gave to the wind its weight
and apportioned out the waters by measure,(C)
26 when he made a decree for the rain,
and a way for the thunderbolt,(D)
27 then he saw it and declared it;
he established it and searched it out.
28 And he said to humankind,
‘Truly, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
and to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”(E)

and measured out the waters,(E)

he confirmed it and tested it.(H)

“The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom,
and to shun evil(I) is understanding.”(J)
