Job 28:22
Compare all
20 “Froma where then does wisdom come?
And where is the place of understanding? 
21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living,
And concealed from the birds of the1 air. 
22 aDestruction1 and Death say,
‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.’ 
23 God understands its way,
And He knows its place.
24 For He looks to the ends of the earth,
And asees under the whole heavens, 
25 aTo establish a weight for the wind,
And apportion the waters by measure. 
26 When He amade a law for the rain,
And a path for the thunderbolt, 
27 Then He saw1 wisdom and declared it;
He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out. 
28 And to man He said,
‘Behold, athe fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
And to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”

Job 28:22

Death - The grave, the place of the dead, to 'which these things are here ascribed, as they are to the depths, and to the sea, by a common figure. Though they cannot give an account of it themselves yet there is a world, on which these dark regions border, where we shall see it clearly. Have patience, says death: I will fetch thee shortly to a place where even this wisdom shall be found. When the veil of flesh is rent, and the interposing clouds are scattered, we shall know what God doth, though we know not now.
