Job 28

Job 28:1

Surely] Job shewes how far mans wisdome goes, in natural things. He instanceth in his digging in mines, searching minerals, and finding out gold and precious things, to ver. 12.

Job 28:12

But where shall Wisdome] He puts a period to humane wisdome; implying that it is not able to finde out a reason of Gods proceedings in his various dispensations, prospering some good and bad, and crossing others of both sorts: And he shewes, that this wisdome cannot be found any where, ver. 13, 14. nor gotten by any price, ver. 15—19. by any living man, ver. 20, 21. But is proper to God, who alone hath it: and teacheth man a more humble wisdome, the best for him, ver. 23—28.
