3An end hath he set to darkness, And to all perfection he is searching, A stone of darkness and death-shade.


In Context

1 Surely there is for silver a source, And a place for the gold they refine;

2 Iron from the dust is taken, And from the firm stone brass.

3 An end hath he set to darkness, And to all perfection he is searching, A stone of darkness and death-shade.

4 A stream hath broken out from a sojourner, Those forgotten of the foot, They were low, from man they wandered.

5 The earth! from it cometh forth bread, And its under-part is turned like fire.
