Job 28:11

11. From overflowing From weeping, (margin.) A beautiful figure to represent the commonplace task of the miner, that of binding up the ever trickling subterranean rills. Umbreit’s rather free rendering, he stilleth the tears of the streams, is in harmony with the poetical conception of the Hebrew who looked upon a fountain ( ayin) as an eye of nature.

Second strophe Application of the preceding description to wisdom a good unattainable by any sense of man; unlimited by place it is not to be found in the world of the living nor in Abaddon, the lowest world of the dead; in value it far surpasses all conceivable wealth, and is therefore infinitely beyond the reach of the covetous and extortionate, living or dead, Job 28:12-22.
