This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_28:10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
Ver. 10. He cutteth out rivers among the rocks] i.e. By cleaving hardest rocks, he draws in store of water to wash the inward parts of the earth, that he may see what gold lieth hidden there; as also, to wash and purge his metals, which require much washing. This is the work of his hands. And then for his eye, and as a reward of his labour (for the diligent hand maketh rich, Pro_10:4, and in all labour there is profit, Pro_14:23).
His eye seeth every precious thing] Heb. Every price; or, All preciousness. Whatsoever is rare, so Tremellius rendereth it. His house is filled with all precious and pleasant riches, Pro_24:4. Dii laboribus omnia vendunt, said the heathens, God sells all good things to men for their pains taking.
