1 There is a place wher siluer is brought out of, and where golde is tryed,

2 Where yron is digged out of the grounde, & stones resolued to metall.

3 The darkenesse shall once come to an ende: he can seke out the grounde of all thinges, the stones, the darke, and the shadowe of death.

4 He causeth the fluddes to breake out against the inhabitant, and the waters forgotten of the foote, beyng hygher then man, are gone away.

5 Out of the same earth commeth bread, and vnder it as it were fire is turned vp.

6 The stones of it are a place of Saphires, and the dust of it is golde.

7 There is a way that the birdes knowe not, that no vultures eye hath seene:

8 Wherin the lions whelpes walke not, and where no lion commeth.
