Job 28:22

20 From where then does wisdom come, and where does understanding dwell?

21 It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing and concealed from the birds of the air.

Abaddon and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor about it.’

23 But God understands its way, and He knows its place.

24 For He looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
