1 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it. |
2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone. |
3 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death. |
4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men. |
5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire. |
6 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold. |
7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen: |
8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. |
9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots. |
10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing. |
11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light. |
