Job 28:6 Context
4The floud breaketh out from the inhabitant; euen the waters forgotten of the foote: they are dried vp, they are gone away from men. 5As for the earth, out of it commeth bread: and vnder it, is turned vp as it were fire. 6The stones of it are the place of Saphires: and it hath dust of golde. 7There is a path which no foule knoweth, and which the vulturs eye hath not seene. 8The lyons whelps haue not troden it, nor the fierce lyon passed by it.

Wesley's Notes for Job 28:6

In some parts of the earth, the sapphires are mixed with stones, and cut out of them and polished. Hath - The earth continueth. Dust - Distinct from that gold which is found in the mass, both sorts of gold being found in the earth.
