7. No hawk sees the roads to the mines,And no vulture ever flies over them.
8. No lion or other fierce beastEver travels those lonely roads.
9. Miners dig the hardest rocks,Dig mountains away at their base.
10. As they tunnel through the rocks,They discover precious stones.
11. They dig to the sources of riversAnd bring to light what is hidden.
12. But where can wisdom be found?Where can we learn to understand?
