Scripture Reading
Job 28:1-28(NIV)
1 There is a mine for silver
and a place where gold is refined.
2 Iron is taken from the earth,
and copper is smelted from ore.
3 Mortals put an end to the darkness;
they search out the farthest recesses
for ore in the blackest darkness.
4 Far from human dwellings they cut a shaft,
in places untouched by human feet;
far from other people they dangle and sway.
5 The earth, from which food comes,
is transformed below as by fire;
6 lapis lazuli comes from its rocks,
and its dust contains nuggets of gold.
7 No bird of prey knows that hidden path,
no falcon’s eye has seen it.
8 Proud beasts do not set foot on it,
and no lion prowls there.
9 People assault the flinty rock with their hands
and lay bare the roots of the mountains.
10 They tunnel through the rock;
their eyes see all its treasures.
11 They search[a] the sources of the rivers
and bring hidden things to light.
12 But where can wisdom be found?
Where does understanding dwell?
13 No mortal comprehends its worth;
it cannot be found in the land of the living.
14 The deep says, “It is not in me”;
the sea says, “It is not with me.”
15 It cannot be bought with the finest gold,
nor can its price be weighed out in silver.
16 It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir,
with precious onyx or lapis lazuli.
17 Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it,
nor can it be had for jewels of gold.
18 Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention;
the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.
19 The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it;
it cannot be bought with pure gold.
20 Where then does wisdom come from?
Where does understanding dwell?
21 It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing,
concealed even from the birds in the sky.
22 Destruction[b] and Death say,
“Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.”
23 God understands the way to it
and he alone knows where it dwells,
24 for he views the ends of the earth
and sees everything under the heavens.
25 When he established the force of the wind
and measured out the waters,
26 when he made a decree for the rain
and a path for the thunderstorm,
27 then he looked at wisdom and appraised it;
he confirmed it and tested it.
28 And he said to the human race,
“The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom,
and to shun evil is understanding.”

► Q5: Is there any warning for me to heed?

Scripture Union Daily Guide – 29 September 2025 OUTLINE
Man has demonstrated great capacity and knowledge in exploring the earth. Read Job 28:1-11 again and observe the great capacity, skills, and determination that man puts into mining precious metals out from great depths. Man’s explorative ability is also evident in breakthroughs in modern technology, aviation, ICT, AI, medicine, astronomy, etc. However, this explorative ability has not given man true wisdom.
Wisdom is different from knowledge; whereas knowledge is the accumulation of facts, wisdom on the other hand is the ability to use those facts for man’s good and God’s glory. Job highlighted that wisdom is not found in nature (Job 28:13,14). It is more valuable than all precious metals and cannot be bought with money or wealth (Job 28:15-19).
It is hidden from the natural man and cannot be found in the realms of the dead (Job 28:20-21). Where then can wisdom be found (Job 28:12-20)? Job 28:23-28 provides us with the answer. True wisdom is only found in God. To get true wisdom we must be ready to go beyond superficial search and go deeper with God, mining the Scripture, with the intent to obey and live by it daily. What can you glean from Job 28:28?
