5 The earth, from which food comes,is transformed below as by fire;
6 lapis lazuli comes from its rocks,and its dust contains nuggets of gold.
7 No bird of prey knows that hidden path,no falcon’s eye has seen it.
8 Proud beasts do not set foot on it,and no lion prowls there.
9 People assault the flinty rock with their handsand lay bare the roots of the mountains.
10 They tunnel through the rock;their eyes see all its treasures.
11 They search the sources of the riversand bring hidden things to light.
