8 Proud beasts have not set foot on it,and no lion has passed along it.
9 On the flinty rock man has set to work with his hand;he has overturned mountains at their bases.
10 He has cut out channels through the rocks;his eyes have spotted every precious thing.
11 He has searched the sources of the riversand what was hidden he has brought into the light.
12 “But wisdom – where can it be found?Where is the place of understanding?
13 Mankind does not know its place;it cannot be found in the land of the living.
14 The deep says, ‘It is not with me.’And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
