22 The Canaanites and the Edomites never heard of Wisdom.
23 The Ishmaelites think they have knowledge, but they haven't found Wisdom. They are just like the merchants of Merran and Teman or the story-tellers or those who desire intelligence—none of them has learned the way to true Wisdom.
24 People of Israel, the universe that God has created is very large! He lives here and controls the entire world.
25 There is no end to the universe, and no one can measure its width or height.
26 Long ago, the famous giants were born here. They were powerful and skilled warriors,
27 yet God did not choose them to be his own or tell them the way to knowledge.
28 So they all died because they were fools and lacked Wisdom.
