Whence then cometh, wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?

Seeing it hath been hid from the eyes of every living thing, and, from the bird of the heavens, hath it been concealed?

Destruction and death, have said, With our ears, have we heard the report thereof!

GOD, understandeth the way thereof, and, he, discerneth the place thereof;

For, he, unto the ends of the earth, directeth his look, under all the heavens, he seeth;

Making, for the wind, a weight, and, the waters, he proved by measure,

When he made, for the rain, a decree, and a way for the lightning of thunders,

Then, saw he it, and declared it, He settled it, yea also he searched it out;

And said to the son of earth, Lo! the reverence of the Lord, that, is wisdom, and, to avoid evil, is understanding.
