18:028:017 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it:  and the exchange of
           it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.

18:028:018 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls:  for the price
           of wisdom is above rubies.

18:028:019 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be
           valued with pure gold.

18:028:020 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of
           understanding?

18:028:021 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close
           from the fowls of the air.

18:028:022 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with
           our ears.

18:028:023 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place
           thereof.

18:028:024 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the
           whole heaven;

18:028:025 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters
           by measure.

18:028:026 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the
           lightning of the thunder: 

18:028:027 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and
           searched it out.

18:028:028 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the lord, that is
           wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

18:029:001 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

18:029:002 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God
           preserved me;

18:029:003 When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I
           walked through darkness;

18:029:004 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was
           upon my tabernacle;

18:029:005 When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about
           me;

18:029:006 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out
           rivers of oil;

18:029:007 When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared
           my seat in the street!

18:029:008 The young men saw me, and hid themselves:  and the aged arose,
           and stood up.

18:029:009 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their
           mouth.

18:029:010 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the
           roof of their mouth.

18:029:011 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye
           saw me, it gave witness to me: 

18:029:012 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless,
           and him that had none to help him.

18:029:013 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me:  and
           I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.

18:029:014 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me:  my judgment was as
           a robe and a diadem.
