The book of Job, most typically known for its story of a man’s great suffering, is also regarded as a piece of wisdom literature from the ancient near east. In the 28th chapter, we find a beautiful poem revealing the nature of both man’s wisdom and God’s wisdom. Man’s wisdom is good, but limited and often tries to be a substitute for God’s wisdom. Divine wisdom is created by God and revealed through Jesus (see Luke 6); it is beautiful (and beautifying) and it draws us into community. We are invited to carefully meditate on this beautiful wisdom through Jesus, the poetic Word.
