Wisdom

Job 28:28 KJV
And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

The context of this verse has to begin at least in verse 12
Job 28:12 KJV
But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?

Between them, Job lists the things of the world that could never be of the same value as wisdom and understanding
Gold
Silver
Onyx
Sapphire
Crystal
Jewels
Coral
Pearls
Rubies
Topaz


The wisdom of God is so far above the experience of man that it is virtually impossible to obtain by any power, contrivance or purchase of man. It is something we must obtain for God or we may not have it.

And it is just this simple, "...the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding."
