Job 28:20 in Context — Job 28
18 Le corail et le cristal ne sont rien auprès d’elle: La sagesse vaut plus que les perles.
19 La topaze d’Éthiopie n’est point son égale, Et l’or pur n’entre pas en balance avec elle.
20 D’où vient donc la sagesse? Où est la demeure de l’intelligence?
21 Elle est cachée aux yeux de tout vivant, Elle est cachée aux oiseaux du ciel.
22 Le gouffre et la mort disent: Nous en avons entendu parler.
