Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 28:9

9. He putteth forth his hand upon the Rock ; he overturneth the mountains by the roots .

This and the now next Verses are meant either 1. Of other eminent and considerable works of God, who sometimes overturneth Rocks, and produceth new Rivers in unlikely places. Or rather 2. Of the same work of mining and digging for Gold, or other pretious things of the Earth, and of other effects of Mans Art and Wisdom in that work. The Miners resolve to break through all opposition, and by Iron tools, or Fire, or other ways, dig through the hardest Rocks.

He undermineth the very Mountains to find out the Metals lying at the bottom of them.
