1. “Surely there is a mine for silver,and a place where gold is refined.
2. Iron is taken from the ground,and rock is poured out as copper.
3. Man puts an end to the darkness;he searches the farthest recessesfor the ore in the deepest darkness.
4. Far from where people live he sinks a shaft,in places travelers have long forgotten,far from other people he dangles and sways.
5. The earth, from which food comes,is overturned below as though by fire;
6. a place whose stones are sapphiresand which contains dust of gold;
7. a hidden path no bird of prey knows – no falcon’s eye has spotted it.
8. Proud beasts have not set foot on it,and no lion has passed along it.
