ESV

1	“Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold that they refine.
2	Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted from the ore.
3	Man puts an end to darkness and searches out to the farthest limit the ore in gloom and deep darkness.
4	He opens shafts in a valley away from where anyone lives; they are forgotten by travelers; they hang in the air, far away from mankind; they swing to and fro.
5	As for the earth, out of it comes bread, but underneath it is turned up as by fire.
6	Its stones are the place of sapphires, and it has dust of gold.
7	“That path no bird of prey knows, and the falcon's eye has not seen it.
8	The proud beasts have not trodden it; the lion has not passed over it.
9	“Man puts his hand to the flinty rock and overturns mountains by the roots.
10	He cuts out channels in the rocks, and his eye sees every precious thing.
11	He dams up the streams so that they do not trickle, and the thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
12	“But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
13	Man does not know its worth, and it is not found in the land of the living.
14	The deep says, 'It is not in me,' and the sea says, 'It is not with me.'
15	It cannot be bought for gold, and silver cannot be weighed as its price.
16	It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire.
17	Gold and glass cannot equal it, nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
18	No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal; the price of wisdom is above, pearls.
19	The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it, nor can it be valued in pure gold.
20	“From where, then, does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?
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.
24	For he looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
25	When he gave to the wind its weight and apportioned the waters by measure,
26	when he made a decree for the rain and a way for the lightning of the thunder,
27	then he saw it and declared it; he established it, and searched it out.
28	And he said to man, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.'“

NIV

1	“There is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined.
2	Iron is taken from the earth, and copper is smelted from ore.
3	Man puts an end to the darkness; he searches the farthest recesses for ore in the blackest darkness.
4	Far from where people dwell he cuts a shaft, in places forgotten by the foot of man; far from men he dangles and sways.
5	The earth, from which food comes, is transformed below as by fire;
6	sapphires come from its rocks, and its dust contains nuggets of gold.
7	No bird of prey knows that hidden path, no falcon's eye has seen it.
8	Proud beasts do not set foot on it, and no lion prowls there.
9	Man's hand assaults the flinty rock and lays bare the roots of the mountains.
10	He tunnels through the rock; his eyes see all its treasures.
11	He searches the sources of the rivers and brings hidden things to light.
12	“But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell?
13	Man does not comprehend its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living.
14	The deep says, 'It is not in me'; the sea says, 'It is not with me.'
15	It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed in silver.
16	It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir, with precious onyx or sapphires.
17	Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it, nor can it be had for jewels of gold.
18	Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.
19	The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be bought with pure gold.
20	“Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell?
21	It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds of the air.
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,
24	for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
25	When he established the force of the wind and measured out the waters,
26	when he made a decree for the rain and a path for the thunderstorm,
27	then he looked at wisdom and appraised it; he confirmed it and tested it.
28	And he said to man, 'The fear of the Lord-that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.'“

NLT

1	“People know where to mine silver and how to refine gold.
2	They know where to dig iron from the earth and how to smelt copper from rock.
3	They know how to shine light in the darkness and explore the farthest regions of the earth as they search in the dark for ore.
4	They sink a mine shaft into the earth far from where anyone lives. They descend on ropes, swinging back and forth.
5	Food is grown on the earth above, but down below, the earth is melted as by fire.
6	Here the rocks contain precious lapis lazuli, and the dust contains gold.
7	These are treasures no bird of prey can see, no falcon's eye observe.
8	No wild animal has walked upon these treasures; no lion has ever set his paw there.
9	People know how to tear apart flinty rocks and overturn the roots of mountains.
10	They cut tunnels in the rocks and uncover precious stones.
11	They dam up the trickling streams and bring to light the hidden treasures.
12	“But do people know where to find wisdom? Where can they find understanding?
13	No one knows where to find it, for it is not found among the living.
14	'It is not here,' says the ocean. 'Nor is it here,' says the sea.
15	It cannot be bought with gold. It cannot be purchased with silver.
16	It's worth more than all the gold of Ophir, greater than precious onyx or lapis lazuli.
17	Wisdom is more valuable than gold and crystal. It cannot be purchased with jewels mounted in fine gold.
18	Coral and jasper are worthless in trying to get it. The price of wisdom is far above rubies.
19	Precious peridot from Ethiopia cannot be exchanged for it. It's worth more than the purest gold.
20	“But do people know where to find wisdom? Where can they find understanding?
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,
24	for he looks throughout the whole earth and sees everything under the heavens.
25	He decided how hard the winds should blow and how much rain should fall.
26	He made the laws for the rain and laid out a path for the lightning.
27	Then he saw wisdom and evaluated it. He set it in place and examined it thoroughly.
28	And this is what he says to all humanity: 'The fear of the Lord is true wisdom; to forsake evil is real understanding.'“

KJV

1	Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
2	Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
3	He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
4	The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
5	As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
6	The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
7	There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:
8	The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
9	He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
10	He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
11	He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
12	But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
13	Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14	The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
15	It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
16	It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17	The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
18	No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19	The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20	Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
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.
24	For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
25	To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
26	When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
27	Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
28	And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
