1 “Hay minas de plata y lugares donde se refina el oro.
1 “Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine.
2 El hierro se extrae de la tierra y el cobre se funde a partir de su mineral.
2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted out of the ore.
3 Los mineros llevan lámparas a la oscuridad del subsuelo y buscan el mineral hasta donde pueden llegar en las sombras y la penumbra.
3 Man sets an end to darkness, and searches out, to the furthest bound, the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
4 Cavan una mina lejos de donde vive la gente o lejos de donde la gente pueda pasar. Se agarran de cuerdas que cuelgan en las fosas.
4 He breaks open a shaft away from where people live. They are forgotten by the foot. They hang far from men, they swing back and forth.
5 El pan sale de la tierra, pero debajo parece que el fuego le ha dado la vuelta.

8 The proud animals have not trodden it, nor has the fierce lion passed by there.
9 Los mineros atacan la dura roca; derriban las raíces de las montañas.

10 Hacen túneles en la roca, buscando cuidadosamente cada piedra preciosa.
10 He cuts out channels among the rocks. His eye sees every precious thing.
11 Ponen diques en las fuentes de los ríos, y sacan a la luz lo que está oculto.
11 He binds the streams that they don’t trickle. The thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
12 “Pero, ¿dónde se puede encontrar la sabiduría? ¿Dónde está el lugar para obtener el entendimiento?
12 “But where will wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?
13 Los seres humanos no conocen el camino de la sabiduría; no se encuentra entre los vivos.
13 Man doesn’t know its price, and it isn’t found in the land of the living.
14 Las aguas profundas dicen: ‘No está aquí’, y el mar dice: ‘Tampoco está aquí’.
14 The deep says, ‘It isn’t in me.’ The sea says, ‘It isn’t with me.’
15 No se puede comprar con oro ni con plata.
15 It can’t be gotten for gold, neither will silver be weighed for its price.
16 Su valor no se puede medir, ni siquiera con el oro de Ofir; es más precioso que el ónix o el lapislázuli.
16 It can’t be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17 El oro o el cristal fino no se pueden comparar con la sabiduría; no se puede cambiar por joyas de oro.
17 Gold and glass can’t equal it, neither will it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
18 El coral y el cristal no son dignos de mención; el precio de la sabiduría está muy por encima de los rubíes.
18 No mention will be made of coral or of crystal. Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19 El topacio de Etiopía no se puede comparar con ella; ni se puede comprar con el oro más puro.

20 “Entonces, ¿de dónde viene la sabiduría? ¿Dónde se adquiere el entendimiento?
20 Where then does wisdom come from? Where is the place of understanding?
21 La sabiduría está oculta de la vista de todos los seres vivos, incluso las aves del cielo no pueden verla.
21 Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the birds of the sky.
22 Abadón y la Muerte dice: ‘Sólo hemos oído un rumor sobre ella’.
22 Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’
23 “Sólo Dios comprende el camino de la sabiduría; él sabe dónde se encuentra.
23 “God understands its way, and he knows its place.
24 Porque él mira hasta el final de la tierra; ve todo lo que hay bajo el cielo.
24 For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole sky.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For Thou hast said unto man, "Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;" and desire not to seem wise, because, "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." But I had now found the goodly pearl, which, selling all that I had, I ought to have bought; and I hesitated.
