1 Surely there is a mine for the kesef, and a makom for zahav where they refine it.
2 Barzel (iron) is taken out of aphar, and nechoshet is smelted out of the even (stone, ore).
3 He setteth a ketz to choshech, and searcheth out all extremities, the even (ore) of darkness and tzalmavet.
4 He cuts out a shaft down far from the inhabitant; forgotten of the regel, they dangle, suspended, away from enosh.
5 As for eretz, out of it cometh lechem, and under it is transformed as by eish.
6 The stones of it are the makom of the sapphire, and it hath ore of zahav.
7 There is a hidden path of which no bird of prey has da'as, and which the falcon's eye hath not seen.
