1 Silver has its fissures where it is first found, and gold has a place where it is melted. 2 Iron is taken from the earth, and ore, unbound by heat, is turned into brass. 3 He has established a time for darkness, and he has settled on an end for all things, as well as for the stone that is in the gloom and shadow of death. 4 The burning separates a pilgrim people from those who have been forgotten by the feet of the destitute man and from the unapproachable. 5 The land, where bread appeared in its place, has been destroyed by fire. 6 Its stones are embedded with sapphires, and its soil, with gold. 7 The bird does not know its path, nor has the eye of the vulture beheld it. 8 The sons of merchants have not walked there, nor has the lioness traveled through it.
