- "There is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined.
- Iron is taken from the earth, and copper is smelted from ore.
- Man puts an end to the darkness; he searches the farthest recesses for ore in the blackest darkness.
- Far from where people dwell he cuts a shaft, in places forgotten by the foot of man; far from men he dangles and sways.
- The earth, from which food comes, is transformed below as by fire;
|
- Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
- Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
- He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
- The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
- As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
