- "Surely there is a mine for silver And a place where they refine gold.
- "Iron is taken from the dust, And copper is smelted from rock.
- "Man puts an end to darkness, And to the farthest limit he searches out The rock in gloom and deep shadow.
- "He sinks a shaft far from habitation, Forgotten by the foot; They hang and swing to and fro far from men.
- "The earth, from it comes food, And underneath it is turned up as 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.
