1 'Surely there is a mine for silver, And a place for gold which they refine.
2 Iron is taken out of the earth, And copper is smelted out of the ore.
3 Man sets an end to darkness, And searches out, to the furthest bound, The stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
4 He breaks open a shaft away from where people live. They are forgotten by the foot. They hang far from men, they swing back and forth.
5 As for the earth, out of it comes bread; Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
