Surely there is a mine for silver and a place to refine gold. Iron is taken from ore, copper smelted from rock. Setting an end in darkness, to absolute limit he seeks stone in gloom and death’s shadow. He breaks down a shaft in spite of dread, ignores foot, so will not hang down men unstably. Earth--from it comes food; beneath, transformed like fire...a place of sapphire stone, and dust yielding gold. A path no raptor knows, no falcon's eye caught sight of. No tread of herd member, no passing upon by lion. Flint shoots off power, overturns mountains. Rock channels split, and everything precious is visible to the eye. Overflowing streams are dammed, and hidden secrets come out in daylight. But where can wisdom be found? -Job 28, retranslated from word definitions by Strong and Brown-Driver-Brigg.
