Job 28:20 (ESV)

20 “From where, then, does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?

Job again asks the question that he asked in Job 28:12. He and his friends have reached a dead end in their arguments. Neither he nor they could find the reason for his suffering. Wisdom is out of everyone’s reach.
