SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:10
De los peñascos cortó ríos, y sus ojos vieron todo lo preciado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 28:10
Verse 10. He cutteth out rivers among the rocks ] He cuts canals, adits, &c., in the rocks, and drives levels under ground, in order to discover loads or veins of ore. These are often continued a great way under ground; and may be poetically compared to rivers, channels, or canals. His eye seeth every precious thing. ] He sinks those shafts, and drives those levels, in order to discover where the precious minerals lie, of which he is in pursuit.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - Job maintained that the dispensations of Providence were regulated by the highest wisdom. To confirm this, he showed of what a great deal of knowledge and wealth men may make themselves masters. The caverns of the earth may be discovered, but not the counsels of Heaven. God to the miners, thou sluggard in religion, consider their ways, and be wise Let their courage and diligence in seeking the wealth that perishes shame us out of slothfulness and faint-heartedness in labouring for the true riches. How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! How muc easier, and safer! Yet gold is sought for, but grace neglected. Wil the hopes of precious things out of the earth, so men call them, thoug really they are paltry and perishing, be such a spur to industry, an shall not the certain prospect of truly precious things in heaven be much more so?
