For he looketh to the ends of the earth, And seeth under the whole heaven;

God understandeth the way thereof, And he knoweth the place thereof.

Destruction and Death say, We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears.

He cutteth out channels among the rocks; And his eye seeth every precious thing.

The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

The deep saith, It is not in me; And the sea saith, It is not with me.

He bindeth the streams that they trickle not; And the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.

Then did he see it, and declare it; He established it, yea, and searched it out.

When he made a decree for the rain, And a way for the lightning of the thunder;

It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, With the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn; They are forgotten of the foot; They hang afar from men, they swing to and fro.

Iron is taken out of the earth, And copper is molten out of the stone.

As for the earth, out of it cometh bread; And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.

The proud beasts have not trodden it, Nor hath the fierce lion passed thereby.

Whence then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?

`Man' setteth an end to darkness, And searcheth out, to the furthest bound, The stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
