So shall, the Almighty, become, thy precious ores, yea glittering silver unto thee!

and [if you] put gold ore in [the] dust, and [the] gold of Ophir in [the] rock of wadis,

Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted out of the ore.

Man sets an end to darkness, and searches out all recesses for ore in darkness, and the shadow of death.

Will he value thy riches? Nay not precious ore, nor all the forces of strength.

An assayer, have I set thee amongst my people, of gold-ore, - That thou mayest note and try their way:

They are all the worst [kind] of [stiff-necked, godless] rebels,
Going around spreading slander.
They are [not gold and silver ore, but] bronze and iron;
They are all corrupt.
