Definitions for Job 28:20
Clarke's Job 28:20 Bible Commentary
Whence then cometh wisdom? - Nearly the same words as in Job 28:12 (note), where see the note.
Barnes's Job 28:20 Bible Commentary
Whence then cometh wisdom? - This question is now repeated from Job 28:12, in order to give it greater emphasis. It is designed to fix the attention on the inquiry as one which found no solution in the discoveries of science, and whose solution was hidden from the most penetrating human intellect.
Wesley's Job 28:20 Bible Commentary
28:20 Whence, &c. - By a diligent inquiry, we find at length, that there is a twofold wisdom; one hid in God, which belongs not to us, the other revealed to man, which belongs to us and to our children.
