Job 28:20

English Standard Version 2016

“From where, then, does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?

See the chapter Copy

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

“But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

And he said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”

“God understands the way to it, and he knows its place.

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

It is hidden from the eyes of all living and concealed from the birds of the air.
