MLV(i)
20 Where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding?
21 Since it is hid from the eyes of all living and kept closed from the birds of the heavens. 22 Destruction and Death say, We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.
23 God understands the way of it and he knows the place of it. 24 For he looks to the ends of the earth and sees under the whole heaven, 25 to make a weight for the wind. Yes, he distributes the waters by measure. 26 When he made a decree for the rain and a way for the lightning of the thunder, 27 then he saw it and declared it. He established it, yes and searched it out.
28 And to man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom and to depart from evil is understanding.
