{{Vs|12}} O where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?  
<poem>
{{Vs|13}} Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.  
O where shall wisdom be found?  
{{Vs|14}} The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.  
And where is the place of understanding?  
{{Vs|15}} It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.  
Man knoweth not the price thereof;  
{{Vs|18}} No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
Neither is it found in the land of the living.  
{{Vs|20}} Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?  
The depth saith, It is not in me:  
{{Vs|21a}} Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living.  
And the sea saith, It is not with me.  
{{Vs|23}} God understandeth the way thereof, and He knoweth the place thereof.  
It cannot be gotten for gold,  
{{Vs|24}} For He looketh to the ends of the earth, And seeth under the whole heav’n;  
neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.  
{{Vs|25}} To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.  
No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls
{{Vs|26}} When He made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
{{Vs|27}} Then did He see it, and declare it; He prepared it, yea, and searched it out.  
Whence then cometh wisdom?  
{{Vs|28}} And unto man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.}}
and where is the place of understanding?  
seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living.  
God understandeth the way thereof,  
and He knoweth the place thereof.  
For He looketh to the ends of the earth,  
And seeth under the whole heav’n;  
To make the weight for the winds;  
and He weigheth the waters by measure,
He weigheth the waters by measure.  
When He made a decree for the rain,  
and a way for the lightning of the thunder;
then did He see it, and declare it;  
He prepared it, yea, and searched it out.  
And unto man He said, Behold,  
the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;  
and to depart from evil is understanding.

12  O where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
13  Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14  The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
15  It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
18  No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
20  Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21a  Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living.
23  God understandeth the way thereof, and He knoweth the place thereof.
24  For He looketh to the ends of the earth, And seeth under the whole heav’n;
25  To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
26  When He made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
27  Then did He see it, and declare it; He prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
28  And unto man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
