Rh :Men shall clap their hands at him,
 * And shall hiss him out of his place.


 * For there is a mine for silver,
 * And a place for gold which they refine.
 * Iron is taken out of the dust,
 * And brass is molten out of the stone.
 * Man setteth an end to darkness,
 * And searcheth out to the furthest bound
 * The stones of thick darkness and of the shadow of death.
 * He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn;
 * They are forgotten of the foot that passeth by;
 * They hang afar from men, they swing to and fro.
 * As for the earth, out of it cometh bread,
 * And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
 * The stones thereof are the place of sapphires,
 * And it hath dust of gold.
 * That path no bird of prey knoweth,
 * Neither hath the falcon's eye seen it;
 * The proud beasts have not trodden it,
 * Nor hath the lion passed thereby.
 * He putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock;
 * He overturneth the mountains by the roots.
 * He cutteth out channels among the rocks;
 * And his eye seeth every precious thing.
 * He bindeth the streams that they trickle not;

 * Neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
 * It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir,
 * With the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
 * Gold and glass cannot equal it;
 * Neither shall the exchange thereof be vessels of fine gold.
 * No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal;
 * Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
 * The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it,
 * Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.


 * Whence then cometh wisdom?
 * And where is the place of understanding?
 * Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living,
 * And kept close from the fowls of the air.
 * Destruction and Death say:
 * 'We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears.'
 * God understandeth the way thereof,
 * And He knoweth the place thereof.
 * For He looketh to the ends of the earth,
 * And seeth under the whole heaven;
 * When He maketh a weight for the wind,
 * And meteth out the waters by measure.
 * When He made a decree for the rain,
