22 She has not been heard of in Canaan,

or seen in Teman;

23 the descendants of Hagar, who seek for understanding on the earth,

the merchants of Merran and Teman,

the story-tellers and the seekers for understanding,

have not learned the way to wisdom,

or given thought to her paths.

24 O Israel, how great is the house of God,

how vast the territory that he possesses!

25 It is great and has no bounds;

it is high and immeasurable.

26 The giants were born there, who were famous of old,

great in stature, expert in war.

27 God did not choose them,

or give them the way to knowledge;

28 so they perished because they had no wisdom,

they perished through their folly.
