Job 28:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 28:1

Job’s Discourse on Wisdom

1 “Surely there is a mine for silver,
And a place where gold is refined.

2 Iron is taken from the¹ earth,
And copper is smelted from ore.

3 Man puts an end to darkness,
And searches every recess
For ore in the darkness and the shadow of death.

4 He breaks open a shaft away from people;
In places forgotten by feet
They hang far away from men;
They swing to and fro.

5 As for the earth, from it comes bread,
But underneath it is turned up as by fire;

6 Its stones are the source of sapphires,
And it contains gold dust.

7 That path no bird knows,
Nor has the falcon’s eye seen it.
