5 Cikin ƙasa inda ake samun abinci, a ƙarƙashinta kuwa zafi ne kamar wuta;
As for the earth, out of it comes bread. Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.

13 Mutum bai gane muhimmancinta ba, ba a samunta a ƙasar masu rai.

The topaz of Ethiopia will not equal it. It won’t be valued with pure gold.
20 “To, daga ina ke nan hikima ta fito? Ina fahimta take zama?
Where then does wisdom come from? Where is the place of understanding?
21 An ɓoye ta daga idanun kowane abu mai rai, har tsuntsayen sararin sama ma an ɓoye masu ita.
Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the birds of the sky.
22 Hallaka da mutuwa suna cewa, ‘Jita-jitarta kaɗai muke ji.’
Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’
23 Allah ya gane hanyar zuwa wurinta. Shi ne kaɗai ya san inda take zama,

26 Lokacin da ya yi wa ruwan sama doka da kuma hanya domin walƙiya,
When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder,
27 sai ya dubi hikima ya auna ta; ya tabbatar da ita, ya gwada ta.
then he saw it, and declared it. He established it, yes, and searched it out.
28 Ya kuma ce wa mutum, ‘Tsoron Ubangiji shi ne hikima, kuma guje wa mugunta shi ne fahimi.’”
To man he said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.’”
