Job 28:9 in Context — Job 28

7 Senda que nunca la conoció ave, ni ojo de buitre la vió:

8 Nunca la pisaron animales fieros, ni león pasó por ella.

9 En el pedernal puso su mano, y trastornó los montes de raíz.

10 De los peñascos cortó ríos, y sus ojos vieron todo lo preciado.

11 Detuvo los ríos en su nacimiento, é hizo salir á luz lo escondido.
