1. Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold which they refine;
2. Iron is taken out of the dust, and copper is molten out of the stone.
3. Man putteth an end to the darkness, and exploreth to the utmost limit, the stones of darkness and of the shadow of death.
4. He openeth a shaft far from the inhabitants of the earth: forgotten of the foot, they hang suspended; away below men they hover.
5. As for the earth, out of it cometh bread, and underneath it is turned up as by fire;
6. The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and it hath dust of gold.
