Job 28:7

Job 28:7

Compare all

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.

8 The¹ proud lions have not trodden it,
Nor has the fierce lion passed over it.

9 He puts his hand on the flint;
He overturns the mountains¹ at the roots.

10 He cuts out channels in the rocks,
And his eye sees every precious thing.
