- 1Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.כִּ֤י יֵ֣שׁ לַכֶּ֣סֶף מוֹצָ֑א וּ֝מָק֗וֹם לַזָּהָ֥ב יָזֹֽקּוּ
- 2Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.בַּ֭רְזֶל מֵעָפָ֣ר יֻקָּ֑ח וְ֝אֶ֗בֶן יָצ֥וּק נְחוּשָֽׁה
- 3He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.קֵ֤ץ שָׂ֤ם לַחֹ֗שֶׁךְ וּֽלְכָל תַּ֭כְלִית ה֣וּא חוֹקֵ֑ר אֶ֖בֶן אֹ֣פֶל וְצַלְמָֽוֶת
- 4The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.פָּ֤רַץ נַ֨חַל מֵֽעִם גָּ֗ר הַֽנִּשְׁכָּחִ֥ים מִנִּי רָ֑גֶל דַּ֖לּוּ מֵאֱנ֣וֹשׁ נָֽעוּ
- 5As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.אֶ֗רֶץ מִמֶּ֥נָּה יֵֽצֵא לָ֑חֶם וְ֝תַחְתֶּ֗יהָ נֶהְפַּ֥ךְ כְּמוֹ אֵֽשׁ
- 6The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.מְקוֹם סַפִּ֥יר אֲבָנֶ֑יהָ וְעַפְרֹ֖ת זָהָ֣ב
- 7There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:נָ֭תִיב לֹֽא יְדָ֣עוֹ עָ֑יִט וְלֹ֥א שְׁ֝זָפַ֗תּוּ עֵ֣ין אַיָּֽה
- 8The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.לֹֽא הִדְרִיכֻ֥הוּ בְנֵי שָׁ֑חַץ לֹֽא עָדָ֖ה עָלָ֣יו שָֽׁחַל
- 9He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.בַּֽ֭חַלָּמִישׁ שָׁלַ֣ח יָד֑וֹ הָפַ֖ךְ מִשֹּׁ֣רֶשׁ הָרִֽים
- 10He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.בַּ֭צּוּרוֹת יְאֹרִ֣ים בִּקֵּ֑עַ וְכָל יְ֝קָ֗ר רָאֲתָ֥ה עֵינֽוֹ
- 11He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.מִ֭בְּכִי נְהָר֣וֹת חִבֵּ֑שׁ וְ֝תַעֲלֻמָ֗הּ יֹ֣צִא אֽוֹר
- 12But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?וְֽ֭הַחָכְמָה מֵאַ֣יִן תִּמָּצֵ֑א וְאֵ֥י זֶ֝ה מְק֣וֹם בִּינָֽה
- 13Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.לֹא יָדַ֣ע אֱנ֣וֹשׁ עֶרְכָּ֑הּ וְלֹ֥א תִ֝מָּצֵ֗א בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַֽחַיִּֽים
- 14The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.תְּה֣וֹם אָ֭מַר לֹ֣א הִ֑יא וְיָ֥ם אָ֝מַ֗ר אֵ֣ין עִמָּדִֽי
- 15It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.לֹא יֻתַּ֣ן סְג֣וֹר תַּחְתֶּ֑יהָ וְלֹ֥א יִ֝שָּׁקֵ֗ל כֶּ֣סֶף מְחִירָֽהּ
- 16It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.לֹֽא תְ֭סֻלֶּה בְּכֶ֣תֶם אוֹפִ֑יר בְּשֹׁ֖הַם יָקָ֣ר וְסַפִּֽיר
- 17The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.לֹא יַעַרְכֶ֣נָּה זָ֭הָב וּזְכוֹכִ֑ית וּתְמ֖וּרָתָ֣הּ כְּלִי פָֽז
- 18No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.רָאמ֣וֹת וְ֭גָבִישׁ לֹ֣א יִזָּכֵ֑ר וּמֶ֥שֶׁךְ חָ֝כְמָ֗ה מִפְּנִינִֽים
- 19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.לֹֽא יַ֭עַרְכֶנָּה פִּטְדַת כּ֑וּשׁ בְּכֶ֥תֶם טָ֝ה֗וֹר לֹ֣א תְסֻלֶּֽה
- 20Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?וְֽ֭הַחָכְמָה מֵאַ֣יִן תָּב֑וֹא וְאֵ֥י זֶ֝֗ה מְק֣וֹם בִּינָֽה
- 21Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.וְֽ֭נֶעֶלְמָה מֵעֵינֵ֣י כָל חָ֑י וּמֵע֖וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם נִסְתָּֽרָה
- 22Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.אֲבַדּ֣וֹן וָ֭מָוֶת אָ֣מְר֑וּ בְּ֝אָזְנֵ֗ינוּ שָׁמַ֥עְנוּ שִׁמְעָֽהּ
- 23God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.אֱ֭לֹהִים הֵבִ֣ין דַּרְכָּ֑הּ וְ֝ה֗וּא יָדַ֥ע אֶת מְקוֹמָֽהּ
- 24For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;כִּי ה֭וּא לִקְצוֹת הָאָ֣רֶץ יַבִּ֑יט תַּ֖חַת כָּל הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יִרְאֶֽה
- 25To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת לָר֣וּחַ מִשְׁקָ֑ל וּ֝מַ֗יִם תִּכֵּ֥ן בְּמִדָּֽה
- 26When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:בַּעֲשֹׂת֣וֹ לַמָּטָ֣ר חֹ֑ק וְ֝דֶ֗רֶךְ לַחֲזִ֥יז קֹלֽוֹת
- 27Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.אָ֣ז רָ֭אָהּ וַֽיְסַפְּרָ֑הּ הֱ֝כִינָ֗הּ וְגַם חֲקָרָֽהּ
- 28And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לָֽאָדָ֗ם הֵ֤ן יִרְאַ֣ת אֲ֭דֹנָי הִ֣יא חָכְמָ֑ה וְס֖וּר מֵרָ֣ע בִּינָֽה

YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
