Job 28
1.There is a knowledge of natural things
12.But wisdom is an excellent gift of God














Neither gold nor crystal can compare to it
This phrase emphasizes the incomparable value of wisdom, a central theme in the Book of Job. In the ancient Near East, gold was a symbol of wealth and power, often used in trade and as a standard of value. Crystal, likely referring to a precious stone or clear quartz, was also highly prized. The comparison suggests that wisdom surpasses even the most treasured material possessions. This echoesProverbs 3:15, which states that wisdom is more precious than rubies. The cultural context of Job's time placed immense value on material wealth, yet this verse elevates wisdom above all.

nor jewels of fine gold be exchanged for it
The mention of "jewels of fine gold" further underscores the theme of wisdom's superiority over material wealth. Fine gold, often used in the crafting of jewelry and religious artifacts, was considered the pinnacle of earthly riches. The idea of exchanging jewels for wisdom suggests a transaction where wisdom is the ultimate prize, unattainable through mere wealth. This reflects the biblical principle that true wisdom comes from God and cannot be bought, as seen inJames 1:5, where believers are encouraged to ask God for wisdom. The verse also foreshadows the New Testament teaching that Christ is the embodiment of divine wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:24), offering a deeper spiritual insight that transcends earthly riches.

Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from Job 28

What is the Bible's perspective on crystals?

How can God's conversation with Satan, suggesting further suffering, be reconciled with the Bible's portrayal of God's goodness? (Job 2:1-6)

How can Job 28 claim humans search the depths of the earth (Job 28:1-4) when ancient mining technology was so limited?

Why does the chapter describe hidden treasures of nature yet fail to mention methods beyond ancient superstition for finding them (Job 28)?(17)The exchange ofit.--Or, according to some,the attraction of it.The remainder of this chapter calls for little remark: its unrivalled sublimity is patent, and comment is superfluous. There is a general resemblance between this chapter and Proverbs 8, and both seem to imply a knowledge of the Mosaic narrative of creation.

Verse 17. -The gold and the crystal cannot equal it; rather,gold and crystal. This second mention of gold (see ver. ]5) seems superfluous, but perhaps the patriarch is thinking of some goblet or ornament in which crystal and gold were combined together. Ornaments of this kind bare been found in Phoenicia ('Hist. of Phoenicia,' pp. 362, 370).And the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold; or,vessels of fine gold. Both in Egypt and Phoenicia vessels of gold were common.
