1For sure, there's a spot for silver, and a place where they get that gold, no cap.

2They pull iron straight from the earth, and brass gets all melted down from the stone, fr.

3He shuts down the darkness and hunts for all that perfection: the stones of darkness and the shadow of death, periodt.

4The flood just breaks out from the people; even the waters forgotten by feet are dried up, they ghosted away from humans.

5The earth be giving bread, and under it’s like fire is lit, no cap.

6The stones here are where the sapphires chill, and there's dust of gold, that’s bussin.

7There’s a path that no bird knows, and the vulture’s eye hasn’t peeped it, sus.

8The lion’s cubs didn’t step here, and even the fierce lion didn’t roll through, lit.

9He’s putting his hand on the rock; he flips the mountains like they’re nothing, savage.

10He carves out rivers in the rocks; his eye sees every precious thing, goated.

11He stops the floods from going wild; and the secrets? They come to light, no cap.

12But fr, where's wisdom at? Like, where’s the spot for understanding?

13No one knows the cost of that vibe; it ain’t found in this life, periodt.

14The deep's like, "Not here," and the sea's like, "Not with me."

15You can’t cop it with gold, and silver ain’t enough for that price, bet.

16It can't be matched with Ophir's gold, or those fancy stones like onyx and sapphire.

17Gold and crystal can’t even compare; you can’t trade it for fine jewels, fr.

18No one’s even talking about coral or pearls; wisdom's worth way more than rubies.

19The topaz from Ethiopia? Nah, it can’t compare, and it ain't worth pure gold either.

20So where does wisdom come from? Like, what’s the spot for understanding?

21It's lowkey hidden from everyone and kept on the down-low from the birds, no cap.

22Destruction and death are like, "We've heard the hype about it, fr."

23God knows the vibes and understands the whole situation, periodt.

24He checks out the ends of the earth and sees everything under the sky, lit.

25He’s out here weighing the winds and measuring the waters, that’s goated.

26When he set the rules for rain and mapped out the lightning, savage moves.

27Then he peeped it and called it out; he got it ready and searched it out, bet.

28And to humans he said, "Yo, the fear of the Lord is wisdom; staying away from evil is real understanding."

1Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.

2Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.

3He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.

4The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.

5As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.

6The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.

7There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen:

8The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.

9He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.

10He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.

11He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.

12But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?

13Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

14The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.

15It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

16It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

17The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.

18No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.

19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

20Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?

21Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.

22Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.

23God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.

24For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;

25To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.

26When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:

27Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.

28And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
