Job 28:12 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

But where shall wisdom be found? I confess that man hath one kind of wisdom, and that in a great degree, namely, to discover the works of nature, and to perform the operations of art; but as for that sublime and eminent wisdom which consists in the perfect knowledge of all God's counsels and ways, and of the reasons of the dispensations of his providence toward good and bad men, this is far above man's reach, and is the prerogative of God alone. Nay, and that wisdom which consists in the true and saving knowledge of God and ourselves, no man can attain but by the special gift of God.
