Job 28:10
He hews out channels in the rocks, and his eyes spot every treasure.
BSB
ASV
He cutteth out channels among the rocks; And his eye seeth every precious thing.
KJV
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks - He cuts canals, adits, etc., 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.
Seeth - Even those which no human art or industry was ever able to discover. That wisdom - Man hath one kind of wisdom, to discover the works of nature, and to perform the operations of art; but as for that sublime wisdom which consists in the knowledge of God and ourselves, no man can discover this, but by the special gift of God.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
