The epistemology of Job

¹² "But where shall wisdom be found?
   And where is the place of understanding?
¹³Man does not know its worth,
   and it is not found in the land of the living....
²³"God understands the way to it,
   and he knows its place.
²⁴For he looks to the ends of the earth
   and sees everything under the heavens.
²⁵When he gave to the wind its weight
   and apportioned the waters by measure,
²⁶when he made a decree for the rain
   and a way for the lightning of the thunder,
²⁷then he saw it and declared it;
   he established it, and searched it out.
²⁸And he said to man,'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
   and to turn away from evil is understanding.'"


Job 28
