Job 28:21–23

21 It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing,

concealed even from the birds in the sky.

22 Destruction and Death say,

“Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.”

23 God understands the way to it

and he alone knows where it dwells,

21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living,

And kept close from the fowls of the air.

22 Destruction and death say,

We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.

23 God understandeth the way thereof,

And he knoweth the place thereof.

21 It is hidden from the eyes of all humanity.

Even the sharp-eyed birds in the sky cannot discover it.

22 Destruction and Death say,

‘We’ve heard only rumors of where wisdom can be found.’

23 “God alone understands the way to wisdom;

he knows where it can be found,

21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living,

And concealed from the birds of the air.

22 Destruction and Death say,

‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.’

23 God understands its way,

And He knows its place.

21 It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing,

even from the birds of the air.

22 The places of destruction and death say,

‘We have heard reports about it.’

23 Only God understands the way to wisdom,

and he alone knows where it lives,

21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living,

And kept close from the birds of the heavens.

22 Destruction and Death say,

We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears.

23 God understandeth the way thereof,

And he knoweth the place thereof.

21 For it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and concealed from the fowl of the heavens. 22 Destruction and death say, We have heard its report with our ears. 23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth its place:

21 It is hidden from the eyes of every living being, 

hidden even from the birds in the air. 

22 Decay and Death say, 

‘We’ve heard a rumor about it.’ 

23 “God understands the way to it. 

He knows where it lives 

21 It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing

and concealed from the birds of the sky.

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.

21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living

and concealed from the birds of the air.

22 Abaddon and Death say,

‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’

23 “God understands the way to it,

and he knows its place.

21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living,

and it is concealed from the birds of the heaven.

22 Abaddon and Death say,

‘We heard its rumor with our ears.’

23 “God understands its way,

and he knows its place,

21 It’s hidden from the eyes of every living thing.

Even the birds of the air can’t find it.

22 Death and the Grave say,

‘Only reports about it have reached our ears.’

23 But God understands the way to it.

He’s the only one who knows where it lives.

21 “Thus it is hidden from the eyes of all living

And concealed from the birds of the sky.

22 “Abaddon and Death say,

‘With our ears we have heard a report of it.’

23 “God understands its way,

And He knows its place.
