1 “Surely there is a mine for silver,and a place for gold that they refine.
2 Iron is taken out of the earth,and copper is smelted from the ore.
3 Man puts an end to darknessand searches out to the farthest limitthe ore in gloom and deep darkness.
4 He opens shafts in a valley away from where anyone lives;they are forgotten by travelers;they hang in the air, far away from mankind; they swing to and fro.
5 As for the earth, out of it comes bread,but underneath it is turned up as by fire.
