Job 28

1 witness of Christ here, and 1 further echo from the reading.

Wisdom of God

But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? Job 28:12–23

Wisdom here is hidden, priceless, and known only to God. Paul later calls Christ 'the wisdom of God', so many Christians see in this search for hidden wisdom a search that ends in Him.
