Men put tremendous effort into finding precious and useful metals. We go into darkest places to find them, then all sorts of processes are applied to get the metals out in pure form. And these are things that no animal or bird does. A fundamental truth is that we are different from the animals, we are more than a supercharged chimpanzee. And the evidence all around us shows this to be true.
Yet wisdom is not valued as it should be. Moreover, money definitely cannot buy wisdom.
Wisdom comes from God alone, the fear of the Lord is wisdom. This is reminiscent of what we read in Proverbs.
See that even though Job is in utter turmoil and torment, he still knows that God is God. There is such a difference between someone having no regard for God, and someone else who does love God but just cannot understand what is going on or what God is doing. It is only in the Lord that we will find wisdom.
