Haydock's commentary
Silver. Hebrew, "Surely there is a vein, or mine, for silver." (Haydock)
The sagacity of man has discovered all these things. Wonderful also is the instinct of animals, ver. 7. Yet wisdom comes from God alone; and those act rashly, who pretend to dive into his counsels in punishing his creatures and ruling the world. (Calmet)
