22 Death and destructionhave merely heard rumorsabout where it is found.
23 God is the only one who knowsthe way to wisdom;
24 he alone sees everythingbeneath the heavens.
25 When God divided outthe wind and the water,
26 and when he decided the pathfor rain and lightning,
27 he also determined the truthand defined wisdom.
28 God told us, “Wisdom meansthat you respect me, the Lord,and turn from sin.”
