Job 28:21
"Where then does wisdom come from? Where is the place of understanding?"
Key Reflection
Job 28:21 asks, "For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole sky." This verse prompts a deep reflection on the nature of wisdom, suggesting that it is beyond human comprehension and understanding. The imagery of searching for wisdom at the extremities of the earth and beneath the entire sky conveys the idea that true wisdom transcends physical boundaries and extends to the very limits of creation. This notion underscores the belief in a divine origin of wisdom, as such profound knowledge cannot be attained through mere human inquiry or exploration alone.
