Job28:12
12. But where shall Wisdom be found? and where is the place of Understanding ?
Heb. that Wisdom, for here is an article which seems to be emphatical. The sense is, I confess that man hath one kind of Wisdom in a great Measure, to wit, to discover the works of Nature, and to perform the operations of art; but as for that sublime and eminent Wisdom, which consists in the exact knowledge of all Gods Counsels, and Ways, and of the several manners and reasons of his governing the world, and dealing with good and bad men, this is far above m[illegible: 1+ letters]ns reach, and is the Prerogative of God alone.
There is no vein for that upon Earth, as there is for Gold or Silver.
