1“Surely there is a mine for silver, And a place where gold is refined.1כִּ֤י יֵ֣שׁ לַכֶּ֣סֶף מוֹצָ֑א וּ֝מָק֗וֹם לַזָּהָ֥ב יָזֹֽקּוּ׃
2Iron is taken from the earth, And copper is smelted from ore.2בַּ֭רְזֶל מֵעָפָ֣ר יֻקָּ֑ח וְ֝אֶ֗בֶן יָצ֥וּק נְחוּשָֽׁה׃
3Man puts an end to darkness, And searches every recess For ore in the darkness and the shadow of death.3קֵ֤ץ ׀ שָׂ֤ם לַחֹ֗שֶׁךְ וּֽלְכָל־ תַּ֭כְלִית ה֣וּא חוֹקֵ֑ר אֶ֖בֶן אֹ֣פֶל וְצַלְמָֽוֶת׃
4He breaks open a shaft away from people; In places forgotten by feet They hang far away from men; They swing to and fro.4פָּ֤רַץ נַ֨חַל ׀ מֵֽעִם־ גָּ֗ר הַֽנִּשְׁכָּחִ֥ים מִנִּי־ רָ֑גֶל דַּ֖לּוּ מֵאֱנ֣וֹשׁ נָֽעוּ׃
5As for the earth, from it comes bread, But underneath it is turned up as by fire;5אֶ֗רֶץ מִמֶּ֥נָּה יֵֽצֵא־ לָ֑חֶם וְ֝תַחְתֶּ֗יהָ נֶהְפַּ֥ךְ כְּמוֹ־ אֵֽשׁ׃
6Its stones are the source of sapphires, And it contains gold dust.6מְקוֹם־ סַפִּ֥יר אֲבָנֶ֑יהָ וְעַפְרֹ֖ת זָהָ֣ב לֽוֹ׃
7That path no bird knows, Nor has the falcon’s eye seen it.7נָ֭תִיב לֹֽא־ יְדָ֣עוֹ עָ֑יִט וְלֹ֥א שְׁ֝זָפַ֗תּוּ עֵ֣ין אַיָּֽה׃
8The proud lions have not trodden it, Nor has the fierce lion passed over it.8לֹֽא־ הִדְרִיכֻ֥הוּ בְנֵי־ שָׁ֑חַץ לֹֽא־ עָדָ֖ה עָלָ֣יו שָֽׁחַל׃
9He puts his hand on the flint; He overturns the mountains at the roots.9בַּֽ֭חַלָּמִישׁ שָׁלַ֣ח יָד֑וֹ הָפַ֖ךְ מִשֹּׁ֣רֶשׁ הָרִֽים׃
10He cuts out channels in the rocks, And his eye sees every precious thing.10בַּ֭צּוּרוֹת יְאֹרִ֣ים בִּקֵּ֑עַ וְכָל־ יְ֝קָ֗ר רָאֲתָ֥ה עֵינֽוֹ׃
11He dams up the streams from trickling; What is hidden he brings forth to light.11מִ֭בְּכִי נְהָר֣וֹת חִבֵּ֑שׁ וְ֝תַעֲלֻמָ֗הּ‪‬ יֹ֣צִא אֽוֹר׃ פ
12“But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?12וְֽ֭הַחָכְמָה מֵאַ֣יִן תִּמָּצֵ֑א וְאֵ֥י זֶ֝ה מְק֣וֹם בִּינָֽה׃
13Man does not know its value, Nor is it found in the land of the living.13לֹא־ יָדַ֣ע אֱנ֣וֹשׁ עֶרְכָּ֑הּ וְלֹ֥א תִ֝מָּצֵ֗א בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַֽחַיִּֽים׃
14The deep says, ‘It is not in me’; And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’14תְּה֣וֹם אָ֭מַר לֹ֣א בִי־ הִ֑יא וְיָ֥ם אָ֝מַ֗ר אֵ֣ין עִמָּדִֽי׃
15It cannot be purchased for gold, Nor can silver be weighed for its price.15לֹא־ יֻתַּ֣ן סְג֣וֹר תַּחְתֶּ֑יהָ וְלֹ֥א יִ֝שָּׁקֵ֗ל כֶּ֣סֶף מְחִירָֽהּ׃
16It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, In precious onyx or sapphire.16לֹֽא־ תְ֭סֻלֶּה בְּכֶ֣תֶם אוֹפִ֑יר בְּשֹׁ֖הַם יָקָ֣ר וְסַפִּֽיר׃
17Neither gold nor crystal can equal it, Nor can it be exchanged for jewelry of fine gold.17לֹא־ יַעַרְכֶ֣נָּה זָ֭הָב וּזְכוֹכִ֑ית וּתְמ֖וּרָתָ֣הּ כְּלִי־ פָֽז׃
18No mention shall be made of coral or quartz, For the price of wisdom is above rubies.18רָאמ֣וֹת וְ֭גָבִישׁ לֹ֣א יִזָּכֵ֑ר וּמֶ֥שֶׁךְ חָ֝כְמָ֗ה מִפְּנִינִֽים׃
19The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it, Nor can it be valued in pure gold.19לֹֽא־ יַ֭עַרְכֶנָּה פִּטְדַת־ כּ֑וּשׁ בְּכֶ֥תֶם טָ֝ה֗וֹר לֹ֣א תְסֻלֶּֽה׃ פ
20“From where then does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?20וְֽ֭הַחָכְמָה מֵאַ֣יִן תָּב֑וֹא וְאֵ֥י זֶ֝֗ה מְק֣וֹם בִּינָֽה׃
21It is hidden from the eyes of all living, And concealed from the birds of the air.21וְֽ֭נֶעֶלְמָה מֵעֵינֵ֣י כָל־ חָ֑י וּמֵע֖וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם נִסְתָּֽרָה׃
22Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.’22אֲבַדּ֣וֹן וָ֭מָוֶת אָ֣מְר֑וּ בְּ֝אָזְנֵ֗ינוּ שָׁמַ֥עְנוּ שִׁמְעָֽהּ׃
23God understands its way, And He knows its place.23אֱ֭לֹהִים הֵבִ֣ין דַּרְכָּ֑הּ וְ֝ה֗וּא יָדַ֥ע אֶת־ מְקוֹמָֽהּ׃
24For He looks to the ends of the earth, And sees under the whole heavens,24כִּי־ ה֭וּא לִקְצוֹת־ הָאָ֣רֶץ יַבִּ֑יט תַּ֖חַת כָּל־ הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יִרְאֶֽה׃
25To establish a weight for the wind, And apportion the waters by measure.25לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת לָר֣וּחַ מִשְׁקָ֑ל וּ֝מַ֗יִם תִּכֵּ֥ן בְּמִדָּֽה׃
26When He made a law for the rain, And a path for the thunderbolt,26בַּעֲשֹׂת֣וֹ‪‬ לַמָּטָ֣ר חֹ֑ק וְ֝דֶ֗רֶךְ לַחֲזִ֥יז קֹלֽוֹת׃
27Then He saw wisdom and declared it; He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out.27אָ֣ז רָ֭אָהּ וַֽיְסַפְּרָ֑הּ הֱ֝כִינָ֗הּ וְגַם־ חֲקָרָֽהּ׃
28And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”28וַיֹּ֤אמֶר ׀ לָֽאָדָ֗ם הֵ֤ן יִרְאַ֣ת אֲ֭דֹנָי הִ֣יא חָכְמָ֑ה וְס֖וּר מֵרָ֣ע בִּינָֽה׃ ס
