Job 28:7-14 Common English Bible (CEB)

7. A path—no bird of prey knows it;a hawk’s eye hasn’t seen it;

8. proud beasts haven’t trodden on it;a lion hasn’t crossed over it.

9. Humans thrust their hands into flint,pull up mountains from their roots,

10. cut channels into rocks;their eyes see everything precious.

11. They dam up the sources of rivers;hidden things come to light.

12. But wisdom, where can it be found;where is the place of understanding?

13. Humankind doesn’t know its value;it isn’t found in the land of the living.

14. The Deep says, "It’s not with me";the Sea says, "Not alongside me!"
