Job 28:8–10

8 Proud beasts do not set foot on it,

and no lion prowls there.

9 People assault the flinty rock with their hands

and lay bare the roots of the mountains.

10 They tunnel through the rock;

their eyes see all its treasures.

8 The proud beasts have not trodden it;

the lion has not passed over it.

9 “Man puts his hand to the flinty rock

and overturns mountains by the roots.

10 He cuts out channels in the rocks,

and his eye sees every precious thing.

8 The lion’s whelps have not trodden it,

Nor the fierce lion passed by it.

9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock;

He overturneth the mountains by the roots.

10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks;

And his eye seeth every precious thing.

8 No wild animal has walked upon these treasures;

no lion has ever set his paw there.

9 People know how to tear apart flinty rocks

and overturn the roots of mountains.

10 They cut tunnels in the rocks

and uncover precious stones.

8 Proud animals have not walked there,

and no lions cross over it.

9 Miners hit the rocks of flint

and dig away at the bottom of the mountains.

10 They cut tunnels through the rock

and see all the treasures there.

8 The proud beasts have not trodden it,

Nor hath the fierce lion passed thereby.

9 He putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock;

He overturneth the mountains by the roots.

10 He cutteth out channels among the rocks;

And his eye seeth every precious thing.

8 The proud beasts have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed over it. 9 Man putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock, he overturneth the mountains by the root. 10 He cutteth out channels in the rocks, and his eye seeth every precious thing.

8 No proud beast has ever walked on it. 

No ferocious lion has ever passed over it. 

9 “Humans exert their power on the flinty rocks 

and overturn mountains at their base. 

10 They cut out mineshafts in the rocks. 

Their eyes see every precious thing. 

8 Proud beasts have never walked on it;

no lion has ever prowled over it.

9 The miner strikes the flint

and transforms the mountains at their foundations.

10 He cuts out channels in the rocks,

and his eyes spot every treasure.

8 The proud wild animals have not trodden it;

the lion has not passed over it.

9 “They put their hand to the flinty rock

and overturn mountains by the roots.

10 They cut out channels in the rocks,

and their eyes see every precious thing.

8 Proud wild animals have not trodden it;

the lion in its prime has not prowled over it.

9 He puts his hand on the hard rock;

he overturns mountains by the roots.

10 He cuts out tunnels in the rocks,

and his eye sees every treasure.

8 Proud animals don’t walk on it.

Lions don’t prowl there.

9 The miner attacks the hardest rock.

His strong hands uncover the base of the mountains.

10 He tunnels through the rock.

His eyes see all of its treasures.

8 “The proud beasts have not trodden it,

Nor has the fierce lion passed over it.

9 “He puts his hand on the flint;

He overturns the mountains at the base.

10 “He hews out channels through the rocks,

And his eye sees anything precious.
