12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
12 But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell?
12 "But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
12 "But where, oh where, will they find Wisdom? Where does Insight hide?
12 "But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
12 "But do people know where to find wisdom? Where can they find understanding?
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 28:12
Commentary on Job 28:12-19
(Read Job 28:12-19)
Job here speaks of wisdom and understanding, the knowing and enjoying of God and ourselves. Its worth is infinitely more than all the riches in this world. It is a gift of the Holy Ghost which cannot be bought with money. Let that which is most precious in God's account, be so in ours. Job asks after it as one that truly desired to find it, and despaired of finding it any where but in God; any way but by Divine revelation.
