Job 28:9–11

“Man puts his hand to the flinty rock

and overturns mountains by the roots.

He cuts out channels in the rocks,

and his eye sees every precious thing.

He dams up the streams so that they do not trickle,

and the thing that is hidden he brings out to light.

People assault the flinty rock with their hands

and lay bare the roots of the mountains.

They tunnel through the rock;

their eyes see all its treasures.

They search the sources of the rivers

and bring hidden things to light.

The miner uses a flint tool

and turns up ore from the root of the mountains.

He cuts out channels in the rocks,

and his eyes spot every treasure.

He dams up the streams from flowing

so that he may bring to light what is hidden.

People know how to tear apart flinty rocks

and overturn the roots of mountains.

They cut tunnels in the rocks

and uncover precious stones.

They dam up the trickling streams

and bring to light the hidden treasures.

He puts his hand on the hard rock;

he overturns mountains by the roots.

He cuts out tunnels in the rocks,

and his eye sees every treasure.

He dams up rivers from their sources,

and he brings secret things to the light.

He putteth forth his hand upon the rock;

He overturneth the mountains by the roots.

He cutteth out rivers among the rocks;

And his eye seeth every precious thing.

He bindeth the floods from overflowing;

And the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
