Job 28:22-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 Abaddon[a] and Death say,
“Only by rumor have we heard of her.”
23 [b]But God understands the way to her;(A)
it is he who knows her place.(B)
24 For he beholds the ends of the earth
and sees all that is under the heavens.

- 28:23–27 In reply to the question of vv. 12, 20, these verses indicate that the creator (vv. 24–26) knows the “place” of wisdom and even “established” her, but the specifics are not given. For further development of this theme, cf. Sir 1:1–10 and Bar 3:9–4:4.
