By His knowledge the watery depths were broken open,
By his knowledge the deeps broke open and the clouds drop down dew.
This verse extends wisdom's reach into the ordered world.
13Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, 14for she is more profitable than silver, 15She is more precious than rubies; 16Long life is in her right hand; 17All her ways are pleasant, 18She is a tree of life to those who embrace her, 19The LORD founded the earth by wisdom 20By His knowledge the watery depths were broken open, 21My son, do not lose sight of this: 22They will be life to your soul 23Then you will go on your way in safety, 24When you lie down, you will not be afraid; 25Do not fear sudden danger 26for the LORD will be your confidence 27Do not withhold good from the deserving 28Do not tell your neighbor, 29Do not devise evil against your neighbor, 30Do not accuse a man without cause, 31Do not envy a violent man 32for the LORD detests the perverse, 33The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, 34He mocks the mockers, 35The wise will inherit honor,
