1 “Indeed, there is a mine for silver and a place for gold to be refined.
2 Iron is taken from dust, and he pours out copper from ore.
3 He puts an end to darkness, and he searches out the farthest limits for the ore in gloom and deep shadow.
4 He breaks open a mine shaft away from where people dwell; those who are forgotten by travelers, they dangle, they sway far away from human beings.
5 As for the earth, from it comes food, but underneath it, it is turned up as by fire.
6 Its stones are the place of sapphire, and the earthen dirt has gold.
7 “It is a path a bird of prey does not know and the black kite’s eye has not seen.
