Job 28:20 in Context — Job 28

18 De coral ni de perlas no se hará mención: la sabiduría es mejor que piedras preciosas.

19 No se igualará con ella esmeralda de Ethiopía; no se podrá apreciar con oro fino.

20 ¿De dónde pues vendrá la sabiduría? ¿y dónde está el lugar de la inteligencia?

21 Porque encubierta está á los ojos de todo viviente, y á toda ave del cielo es oculta.

22 El infierno y la muerte dijeron: Su fama hemos oído con nuestros oídos.
