No Price Can Buy Wisdom
28:12“But wisdom—where can it be found?
Where is the place of understanding?
28:13Mankind does not know its place;23
it cannot be found in the land of the living.
Footnotes
- 23 The has “its way, apparently reading דַּרְכָה (darkhah) in place of עֶרְכָּהּ (’erkah, “place”). This is adopted by most modern commentators. But R. Gordis (Job, 308) shows that this change is not necessary, for עֶרֶךְ (’erekh) in the Bible means “order; row; disposition,” and here “place.” An alternate meaning would be “worth” (, ESV).
