Job 28:1-11

1Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine.

2Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.

3Man setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out to the furthest bound the stones of thick darkness and of the shadow of death.

4He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn; they are forgotten of the foot that passeth by; they hang afar from men, they swing to and fro.

5As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.

6The stones thereof are the place of sapphires, and it hath dust of gold.

7That path no bird of prey knoweth, neither hath the falcon’s eye seen it:

8The proud beasts have not trodden it, nor hath the fierce lion passed thereby.

9He putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.

10He cutteth out channels among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.

11He bindeth the streams that they trickle not; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
