Breaketh out — While men are searching, water breaks in upon them. Inhabitants — Out of that part of the earth which the miners inhabit. Forgotten — Untrodden by the foot of man. Dried up — They are dried up, (or, drawn up, by engines made for that purpose) from men, from the miners, that they may not be hindered in their work.
