Job 28:12 Context
10Hee cutteth out riuers among the rockes, and his eye seeth euery precious thing. 11He bindeth the flouds from ouerflowing, and the thing that is hid, bringeth he foorth to light. 12But where shall wisedome bee found? and where is the place of vnderstanding? 13Man knoweth not the price thereof neither is it found in the land of the liuing. 14The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
