2Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone is changed into brass by the fire.
3Man puts an end to the dark, searching out to the farthest limit the stones of the deep places of the dark.
4He makes a deep mine far away from those living in the light of day; when they go about on the earth, they have no knowledge of those who are under them, who are hanging far from men, twisting from side to side on a cord.
5As for the earth, bread comes out of it; but under its face it is turned up as if by fire.
6Its stones are the place of sapphires, and it has dust of gold.
7No bird has knowledge of it, and the hawk's eye has never seen it.
8The great beasts have not gone over it, and the cruel lion has not taken that way.
