Job 28:27

Wisdom is not merely the thoughts of human minds. And wisdom is not clever ideas, like the ideas of Job’s friends.

God chose wisdom as a quality that people need.

God recognised that wisdom is important.

God made sure that wisdom is good.

Then, God recommended wisdom to us.

So God used a careful process when he recommended wisdom. This process is like the workman’s process to make metal in verses 1-11. But God achieved more than the workman did. God showed us how to be wise.

Wisdom will benefit our whole lives. And wisdom will bring us to heaven when we die.

v28 So, God said to people:

‘If you respect God, then you will be wise.

If you refuse to do evil things, then you will be intelligent.’
