Job 28:4 Context
2Iron is taken out of the earth, and brasse is molten out of the stone. 3Hee setteth an ende to darkenesse, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkenesse and the shadow of death. 4The floud breaketh out from the inhabitant; euen the waters forgotten of the foote: they are dried vp, they are gone away from men. 5As for the earth, out of it commeth bread: and vnder it, is turned vp as it were fire. 6The stones of it are the place of Saphires: and it hath dust of golde.
