20 G3588 But concerning G1161 G4678 wisdom, G4159 from what place G2147 shall she be found? G4169 and of what kind G1161 G5117 of place G1510.2.3 is G3588 G4907 understanding?

21 G2990 She has escaped notice G3956 of every G444 man; G2532 and G575 from G4071 the birds G3588 of the G3772 heaven G2928 she was hid.

22 G3588 G684 Destruction G2532 and G3588 G2288 death G2036 said, G191 We have heard G1473 of her G3588 G2811 fame.

24 G1473 For he G1063 G3588 G5259 [²under G3772 ³heaven G3956 ¹inspects all things], G2186.4 G1492 knowing G3588 the things G1722 in G3588 the G1093 earth;

25 G3956 all G3739 which G4160 he made, G417 [²of the winds G4712.4 ¹ even the weight], G5204 [²of water G3358 ¹ and the measures].

26 G3753 When G4160 he made them, G3779 thus G1492 seeing G705 he counted them, G2532 and G3598 made a way G1722 for G5098.1 the vibration G5456 of sound.

27 G5119 Then G1492 he beheld G1473 it, G1834 he described G1473 it; G2090 preparing G1840.1 he tracked it out.

28 G2036 And he said G1161 G444 to man, G2400 Behold, G3588 G2317 godliness G1510.2.3 is G4678 wisdom; G3588 G1161 and G566 being at a distance G575 from G2556 evils G1510.2.3 is G1989.1 higher knowledge.

He confirmed it and examined it. ²⁸ And he said unto man, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to eschew evil is understanding.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ Kusta siis taito tulee? ja kussa on ymmärryksen sia? ²¹ Hän on peitetty kaikkein elävien silmistä, ja salattu taivaan linnuiltakin. ²² Kadotus ja kuolema sanovat: me olemme korvillamme kuulleet hänen sanomansa. ²³ Jumala tietää hänen tiensä, ja hän tuntee hänen siansa. ²⁴ Sillä hän katselee maan ääriin, ja näkee kaikki, mitä taivaan alla on, ²⁵ Niin että hän antaa tuulelle hänen painonsa ja vedelle hänen mittansa. ²⁶ Koska hän asetti sateelle määrän ja pitkäisen tulen leimauksille hänen tiensä, ²⁷ Silloin näki hän sen ja luki sen: hän valmisti sen ja myös tutki sen, ²⁸ Ja sanoi ihmiselle: katso, Herran pelko on taito; ja karttaa pahaa on ymmärrys.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ Mistä siis tulee viisaus ja missä on ymmärryksen asuinpaikka? ²¹ Se on peitetty kaiken elävän silmiltä, salattu taivaan linnuiltakin. ²² Manala ja kuolema sanovat: 'Korvamme ovat kuulleet siitä vain kerrottavan'. ²³ Jumala tietää tien sen luokse, hän tuntee sen asuinpaikan. ²⁴ Sillä hän katsoo maan ääriin saakka, hän näkee kaiken, mitä taivaan alla on. ²⁵ Kun hän antoi tuulelle voiman ja määräsi mitalla vedet, ²⁶ kun hän sääti lain sateelle ja ukkospilvelle tien, ²⁷ silloin hän sen näki ja ilmoitti, toi sen esille ja sen myös tutki. ²⁸ Ja ihmiselle hän sanoi: 'Katso, Herran pelko-se on viisautta, ja pahan karttaminen on ymmärrystä'."

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ Men, kote nou ka jwenn konesans lan? Kote bon konprann lan ye menm? ²¹ Pa gen moun, pa gen bèt ki ka wè l', pa menm zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la. ²² Ata lanmò ak simityè di se tande yo tande nonmen non l'. ²³ Se Bondye ase ki konn chemen an. Se li ase ki konnen kote li rete. ²⁴ Paske Bondye wè dènye bout latè. Li voye je l', li gade tou sa ki anba syèl la. ²⁵ Lè Bondye t'ap bay van yo pèz yo, lè li t'ap bay dlo lanmè a mezi kote pou l' rive a, ²⁶ lè li t'ap bay lòd kote pou lapli tonbe ak chemen pou loraj yo pran lè y'ap gwonde, ²⁷ se lè sa a li te wè bon konprann, li wè sa li vo. Li egzaminen l' byen egzaminen, li sonde l' byen sonde. ²⁸ Apre sa, Bondye di moun konsa: -Gen krentif pou Bondye, se sa ki rele bon konprann. Vire do bay sa ki mal, men sa ki rele gen lespri.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ A bölcseség honnan jõ tehát, és hol van helye az értelemnek? ²¹ Rejtve van az minden élõ szemei elõtt, az ég madarai elõl is fedve van. ²² A pokol és halál azt mondják: [Csak] hírét hallottuk füleinkkel! ²³ Isten tudja annak útját, õ ismeri annak helyét. ²⁴ Mert õ ellát a föld határira, õ lát mindent az ég alatt. ²⁵ Mikor a szélnek súlyt szerzett, és a vizeket mértékre vette; ²⁶ Mikor az esõnek határt szabott, és mennydörgõ villámoknak útat: ²⁷ Akkor látta és kijelentette azt, megalapította és meg is vizsgálta azt. ²⁸ Az embernek pedig mondá: Ímé az Úrnak félelme: az a bölcseség, és az értelem: a gonosztól való eltávozás.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ Di manakah sumbernya kebijaksanaan? Di mana kita mendapat pengertian? ²¹ Tak ada makhluk hidup yang pernah melihatnya, bahkan burung di udara tak menampaknya. ²² Maut dan kebinasaan pun berkata, mereka hanya mendengar desas-desus belaka. ²³ Hanya Allah tahu tempat hikmat berada, hanya Dia mengetahui jalan ke sana, ²⁴ karena Ia melihat ujung-ujung bumi; segala sesuatu di bawah langit Ia amati. ²⁵ Ketika angin diberi-Nya kekuatan, dan ditetapkan-Nya batas-batas lautan; ²⁶ ketika ditentukan-Nya tempat hujan jatuh, dan jalan yang dilalui kilat dan guruh; ²⁷ pada waktu itulah hikmat dilihat-Nya, diuji-Nya nilainya, lalu diberikan-Nya restu-Nya. ²⁸ Allah berkata kepada manusia, "Untuk mendapat hikmat, Allah harus kamu hormati. Untuk dapat mengerti, kejahatan harus kamu jauhi."

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ Onde viene adunque la sapienza? E dove è il luogo dell’intelligenza? ²¹ Conciossiachè ella sia nascosta agli occhi d’ogni vivente, Ed occulta agli uccelli del cielo. ²² Il luogo della perdizione e la morte dicono: Noi abbiamo con gli orecchi solo udita la fama di essa. ²³ Iddio solo intende la via di essa, E conosce il suo luogo. ²⁴ Perciocchè egli riguarda fino all’estremità della terra, Egli vede sotto tutti i cieli. ²⁵ Quando egli dava il peso al vento, E pesava le acque a certa misura; ²⁶ Quando egli poneva il suo ordine alla pioggia, E la via a’ lampi de’ tuoni; ²⁷ Allora egli la vedeva, e la contava; Egli l’ordinava, ed anche l’investigava. ²⁸ Ma egli ha detto all’uomo: Ecco, il timor del Signore è la sapienza; E il ritrarsi dal male è l’intelligenza.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ Donde vien dunque la Sapienza? E dov’è il luogo della Intelligenza? ²¹ Essa è nascosta agli occhi d’ogni vivente, è celata agli uccelli del cielo. ²² L’abisso e la morte dicono: "Ne abbiamo avuto qualche sentore". ²³ Dio solo conosce la via che vi mena, egli solo sa il luogo dove dimora, ²⁴ perché il suo sguardo giunge sino alle estremità della terra, perch’egli vede tutto quel ch’è sotto i cieli. ²⁵ Quando regolò il peso del vento e fissò la misura dell’acque, ²⁶ quando dette una legge alla pioggia e tracciò la strada al lampo dei tuoni, ²⁷ allora la vide e la rivelò, la stabilì ed anche l’investigò. ²⁸ E disse all’uomo: "Ecco: temere il Signore: questa è la Sapienza, e fuggire il male è l’Intelligenza"."

Korean⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ 그런즉 지혜는 어디서 오며 명철의 곳은 어디인고 ²¹ 모든 생물의 눈에 숨겨졌고 공중의 새에게 가리워졌으며 ²² 멸망과 사망도 이르기를 우리가 귀로 그 소문은 들었다 하느니라 ²³ 하나님이 그 길을 깨달으시며 있는 곳을 아시나니 ²⁴ 이는 그가 땅 끝까지 감찰하시며 온 천하를 두루 보시며 ²⁵ 바람의 경중을 정하시며 물을 되어 그 분량을 정하시며 ²⁶ 비를 위하여 명령하시고 우뢰의 번개를 위하여 길을 정하셨음이라 ²⁷ 그 때에 지혜를 보시고 선포하시며 굳게 세우시며 궁구하셨고 ²⁸ 또 사람에게 이르시기를 주를 경외함이 곧 지혜요, 악을 떠남이 명철이라 ! 하셨느니라

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ Iš kur tad ateina išmintis ir kur supratimo šaltinis? ²¹ Ji yra paslėpta gyvųjų akims, net padangių paukščiai jos nesuranda. ²² Mirtis ir prapultis sako: ‘Mes girdėjome apie jos garsą’. ²³ Dievas žino jos kelią ir vietą, kur ji yra. ²⁴ Jis stebi visus žemės kraštus ir mato po visu dangumi. ²⁵ Jis pasveria vėją ir išmatuoja vandenis. ²⁶ Jis nustatė lietui laiką ir nurodė žaibui kelią. ²⁷ Tada Jis matė ją ir paskelbė ją, paruošė ją ir ją išmėgino. ²⁸ Žmogui Jis pasakė: ‘Viešpaties baimė yra išmintis ir šalintis nuo pikta yra supratimas’ ”.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ Skądże tedy mądrość pochodzi? albo gdzie jest miejsce rozumu? ²¹ Gdyż zakryta jest od oczu wszystkich żyjących, i przed ptastwem niebieskim zatajona jest. ²² Zginienie i śmierć rzekły: Uszyma swemi słyszałyśmy sławę jej. ²³ Bóg sam rozumie drogę jej, a on wie miejsce jej. ²⁴ Bo on na kończyny ziemi patrzy, a wszystko, co jest pod niebem, widzi. ²⁵ Wiatrom uczynił wagę, a wody odważył pod miarą. ²⁶ On też prawo dżdżom postanowił, a drogę błyskawicom gromów. ²⁷ W ten czas ją widział, i głosił ją: zgotował ją, i doszedł jej. ²⁸ Ale człowiekowi rzekł: Oto bojaźń Pańska jest mądrością, a warować się złego, jest rozumem.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ Donde, pois, vem a sabedoria? Onde está o lugar do entendimento? ²¹ Está encoberta aos olhos de todo vivente, e oculta às aves do céu. ²² O Abadon e a morte dizem: Ouvimos com os nossos ouvidos um rumor dela. ²³ Deus entende o seu caminho, e ele sabe o seu lugar. ²⁴ Porque ele perscruta até as extremidades da terra, sim, ele vê tudo o que há debaixo do céu. ²⁵ Quando regulou o peso do vento, e fixou a medida das águas; ²⁶ quando prescreveu leis para a chuva e caminho para o relâmpago dos trovões; ²⁷ então viu a sabedoria e a manifestou; estabeleceu-a, e também a esquadrinhou. ²⁸ E disse ao homem: Eis que o temor do Senhor é a sabedoria, e o apartar-se do mal é o entendimento.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ Hvor kommer da visdommen fra? Og hvor har forstanden sin bolig? ²¹ Den er dulgt for alle levendes øine, den er skjult for himmelens fugler; ²² avgrunnen og døden sier: Bare et frasagn om den er kommet oss for øre. ²³ Gud kjenner veien til den, og han vet hvor den har sin bolig. ²⁴ For hans øie når til jordens ender; allting under himmelen ser han. ²⁵ Da han fastsatte vindens vekt og gav vannet dets mål, ²⁶ da han satte en lov for regnet og en vei for lynstrålen, ²⁷ da så han visdommen og åpenbarte den, da lot han den stå frem og utforsket den. ²⁸ Og han sa til mennesket: Se, å frykte Herren, det er visdom, og å fly det onde er forstand.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ De unde vine atunci înţelepciunea? Unde este locuinţa priceperii? ²¹ Este ascunsă de ochii tuturor celor vii, este ascunsă de păsările cerului. ²² Adîncul şi moartea zic:,Noi am auzit vorbindu-se de ea.` ²³ Dumnezeu îi ştie drumul, El îi cunoaşte locuinţa. ²⁴ Căci El vede pînă la marginile pămîntului, zăreşte totul subt ceruri. ²⁵ Cînd a rînduit greutatea vîntului, şi cînd a hotărît măsura apelor, ²⁶ cînd a dat legi ploii, şi cînd a însemnat drumul fulgerului şi tunetului, ²⁷ atunci a văzut înţelepciunea şi a arătat -o, i -a pus temeliile şi a pus -o la încercare. ²⁸ Apoi a zis omului:,Iată, frica de Domnul, aceasta este înţelepciunea; depărtarea de rău, este pricepere.`

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ А мудрість ізвідки проходить, і де місце розуму? ²¹ Бо вона від очей усього живого захована, і від птаства небесного скрита вона. ²² Аваддон той і смерть промовляють: Ушима своїми ми чули про неї лиш чутку! ²³ Тільки Бог розуміє дорогу її, й тільки Він знає місце її! ²⁴ Бо Він аж на кінці землі придивляється, бачить під небом усім. ²⁵ Коли Він чинив вагу вітрові, а воду утворював мірою, ²⁶ коли Він уставу складав для дощу та дороги для блискавки грому, ²⁷ тоді Він побачив її та про неї повів, міцно поставив її та її дослідив! ²⁸ І сказав Він людині тоді: Таж страх Господній це мудрість, а відступ від злого це розум!
