He sets an end to darkness, and searches out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death. Context The Earth's Treasures
1Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it. 2Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone. 3He sets an end to darkness, and searches out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death. 4The flood breaks out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men. 5As for the earth, out of it comes bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire. 6The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it has dust of gold. 7There is a path which no fowl knows, and which the vulture's eye has not seen: 8The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. 9He puts forth his hand on the rock; he overturns the mountains by the roots. 10He cuts out rivers among the rocks; and his eye sees every precious thing. 11He binds the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid brings he forth to light. Parallel Verses American Standard Version

King James Bible
He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
Young's Literal Translation
An end hath he set to darkness, And to all perfection he is searching, A stone of darkness and death-shade.
