Job 28:1-11

Human Skill in Mining the Earth

Job 28:1-11
1
Surely there is a mine for silver, And a place for gold which they refine.
2
Iron is taken out of the earth, And copper is molten out of the stone.
3
Man setteth an end to darkness, And searcheth out, to the furthest bound, The stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
4
He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn; They are forgotten of the foot; They hang afar from men, they swing to and fro.
5
As for the earth, out of it cometh bread; And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
6
The stones thereof are the place of sapphires, And it hath dust of gold.
7
That path no bird of prey knoweth, Neither hath the falcon’s eye seen it:
8
The proud beasts have not trodden it, Nor hath the fierce lion passed thereby.
9
He putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock; He overturneth the mountains by the roots.
10
He cutteth out channels among the rocks; And his eye seeth every precious thing.
11
He bindeth the streams that they trickle not; And the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
