Job 28:5

Out of it; out of the upper parts of the earth. Bread; bread-corn, or other food for man's use. Under it; either,

1. Under the same earth, which either at the same time yields bread out of its upper, and fire out of its lower parts; or at several times; that earth which once was fruitful becoming, by the disposition of Divine Providence, barren and sulphureous, &c. Or,

2. Under other parts of the earth. Is turned up, i.e. is digged out and fetched up. As it were fire; either gold and precious stones, which glitter and sparkle like fire; or coals, and brimstone, and other materials of fire.
