20Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21Mihing tengteng mit akipana sel ahi chih leh, huihkhua a vasate akipan sitsa a om ahi chih theiin.
21Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.

25Huiha dinga gikna a piak lain, leh tuite tehna a a teh laiin;
25To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
26Vuah adinga thupiak a bawla, vanging khophia adia lampi a bawl laiin;
26When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
27Huailaiin aman a mua, a phuanga; ahih kipa, ahi, a zong khia hi.Huan mihing kiangah, Ngaiin, TOUPA kihtak, huai pilna ahi: huan hoihlou akipan pai mang theisiamna ahi, a chi hi.
27Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
28Huan mihing kiangah, Ngaiin, TOUPA kihtak, huai pilna ahi: huan hoihlou akipan pai mang theisiamna ahi, a chi hi.
28And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
