The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor has the fierce lion passed over it, extending the assertion that animals, even the most powerful and perceptive, lack access to the knowledge humans have discovered. The mention of lion's whelps and fierce lion suggests that even the king of beasts, with all its power and capability, does not discover the miner's path. The emphasis on strength (fierce lion) alongside the previous emphasis on sight (eagle's eye) suggests that human knowledge transcends both power and perception. Job's point establishes that certain forms of knowledge are distinctively human, unavailable to creatures despite their natural advantages.
