Job 28:27
25 When God fixed the weight of the wind and measured out the waters,
26 when He set a limit for the rain and a path for the thunderbolt,
then He looked at wisdom and appraised it; He established it and searched it out.
28 And He said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”
