Job 28:7,8 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

There is a path which no fowl knoweth Namely, in the bowels of the earth. Man by his industry goeth in mines under the earth, in paths where neither bird nor beast has ever entered. Which the vulture's eye hath not seen Whose eye is very quick and strong, and searches all places for its prey. The lion's whelps Hebrew, בני שׁחצ, benei shachatz, the sons of the wild beast, have not trodden it The wildest beasts, who search for solitary places, have never made their den there, nor so much as approached it; nor the fierce lion passed by it Which rangeth all places for prey. The birds and beasts have often led men to such places as otherwise they should never have found out; but they could not lead them to these mines; the finding out of them is a special gift of God.

Job 28:7-8

7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:

8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
