Above Rubies

Name Date

Read the Story

Job said, Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine. People dig deep and bring hidden things to light.

Job asked, But where will wisdom be found? He said, The deep says, It isn't in me. The sea says, It isn't with me. Wisdom can't be gotten for gold. The price of wisdom is above rubies.

Job said, God understands its way, and he knows its place. To man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.

Job 28 · Grade 4

The Search for Wisdom

Name Date

Read and Think

Job described miners who dig shafts far from where people live. They find silver, gold, iron, copper, and sapphires. Man sets an end to darkness, and the thing that is hidden he brings out to light. People are very good at finding treasures.

But where will wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding? Wisdom is not found by digging. It can't be gotten for gold, neither will silver be weighed for its price. Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.

Only God understands its way, and he knows its place. He looks to the ends of the earth and sees under the whole sky. To man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.

Job 28 · Grade 5

The Fear of the Lord, That Is Wisdom

Name Date

Read and Think

Chapter 28 is a poem about wisdom. It begins with human skill: Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine. Iron is taken out of the earth. Miners cut shafts where no bird of prey has flown and no lion has walked. His eye sees every precious thing. The thing that is hidden he brings out to light. Humans can uncover the treasures of the earth.

Then the poem turns: But where will wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding? Man doesn't know its price. The deep says, It isn't in me. The sea says, It isn't with me. It can't be gotten for gold. Gold and glass can't equal it. The price of wisdom is above rubies. Even Destruction and Death have only heard a rumor of it.

God understands its way, and he knows its place. For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole sky. He establishes the force of the wind and measures out the waters. To man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding. This echoes Job 1:1, where Job feared God and turned away from evil. The poem prepares for God's speeches in chapters 38 to 41.
