Job 28:9 Context
7There is a path which no foule knoweth, and which the vulturs eye hath not seene. 8The lyons whelps haue not troden it, nor the fierce lyon passed by it. 9Hee putteth foorth his hand vpon the rocke; hee ouerturneth the mountaines by the rootes. 10Hee cutteth out riuers among the rockes, and his eye seeth euery precious thing. 11He bindeth the flouds from ouerflowing, and the thing that is hid, bringeth he foorth to light.
