It is hidden from the eyes of all living, and concealed from the birds of the air, establishing that wisdom's hiddenness extends comprehensively—from all humans (eyes of all living) and even from creatures with superior perception (birds of air). The double assertion of hiddenness and concealment emphasizes the absolute nature of wisdom's inaccessibility, that it remains deliberately withheld from created beings. The universal scope—all living and all birds—suggests that no creature, human or animal, can perceive wisdom without divine revelation. The verse establishes wisdom as the prerogative of transcendent reality.
