Chapter 28
1
Da, srebro ima žice,
i zlato ima mesto gde se topi.
2
Gvožđe se vadi iz praha,
i iz kamena se topi bronza.
3
Mraku postavlja među,
i sve istražuje čovek do kraja,
i kamenje u tami i u senu smrtnom.
4
Reka navre s mesta svog da joj niko ne može pristupiti;
ali se odbije i odlazi trudom čovečjim.
5
Iz zemlje izlazi hleb,
i pod njom je drugo, kao oganj.
6
U kamenu je njenom mesto safiru,
a onde je prah zlatni.
7
Te staze ne zna ptica,
niti je vide oko kragujevo;
8
Ne ugazi je mlado zverje,
niti njom prođe lav.
9
Na kremen diže ruku svoju;
prevraća gore iz dna.
10
Iz stene izvodi potoke,
i svašta dragoceno vidi Mu oko.
11
Ustavlja reke da ne teku,
i šta je sakriveno iznosi na videlo.
12
Ali mudrost gde se nalazi?
I gde je mesto razumu?
13
Ne zna joj čovek cene,
niti se nahodi u zemlji živih.
14
Bezdana veli: Nije u meni;
i more veli: Nije kod mene.
15
Ne može se dati čisto zlato za nju,
niti se srebro izmeriti u promenu za nju.
16
Ne može se ceniti zlatom ofirskim,
ni dragim onihom ni safirom.
17
Ne može se najednačiti s njom ni zlato ni kristal,
niti se može promeniti za zaklade zlatne.
18
Od korala i bisera nema spomena,
jer je vrednost mudrosti veća nego dragom kamenju.
19
Ne može se s njom izjednačiti topaz etiopski,
niti se može ceniti čistim zlatom.
20
Otkuda, dakle, dolazi mudrost?
I gde je mesto razumu?
21
Sakrivena je od očiju svakog živog,
i od ptica nebeskih zaklonjena.
22
Pogibao i smrt govore:
Ušima svojim čusmo slavu njenu.
23
Bog zna put njen,
i poznaje mesto njeno.
24
Jer gleda do krajeva zemaljskih
i vidi sve što je pod svim nebom.
25
Kad davaše vetru težinu,
i meraše vodu merom,
26
Kad postavljaše zakon daždu
i put munji gromovnoj.
27
Još je onda vide i oglasi je,
uredi je i pretraži je.
28
A čoveku reče:
Gle, strah je Božji mudrost,
i uklanjati se oda zla jeste razum.
Job
Chapter 28
1
Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
2
Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
3
He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
4
The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
5
As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
6
The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
7
There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen:
8
The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
9
He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
10
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
11
He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
12
But 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.
16
It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17
The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
18
No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20
Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
22
Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
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 heaven;
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.
