22 Abaddon and Death say,“We have heard news of it with our ears.”
23 But God understands the way to wisdom,and He knows its location.
24 For He looks to the ends of the earthand sees everything under the heavens.
25 When God fixed the weight of the windand limited the water by measure,
26 when He established a limit for the rain and a path for the lightning,
27 He considered wisdom and evaluated it;He established it and examined it.
28 He said to mankind,“The fear of the Lord is this: wisdom.And to turn from evil is understanding.”
