Holy Scripture
Job 28:21
A church father on this verse
“These words suggest that even though Christ is presented through a simile, he is, however, above any simile or figure or type and is by no means comparable to the saints. He is said to be similar to the hidden and superior powers, but it is well known that they cannot even direct their looks to him.”

19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equaled to it; It shall not be compared with pure gold.
20Whence then is wisdom found? And of what kind is the place of understanding?
— Job 28:21 —
22Destruction and Death said, We have heard the report of it.
23God has well ordered the way of it, And he knows the place of it.
