1 “Indeed, there is a mine for silver, and a place where gold is refined.
2 Iron is taken from the earth, and copper is smelted from ore.
3 An end to darkness he has set, and to every limit he is searching, to rocks in deepest darkness.
4 He opens a shaft far away from people; they are forgotten by feet; they hang far away from men; they swing to and fro.
5 Earth, out of which grows food, is turned underneath as by fire;
6 its stones are the place of sapphires, and it has dust of gold.
