Job 28:2-4

Christian Standard Bible

² Iron is taken from the ground,
and copper is smelted from ore.
³ A miner puts an end to the darkness;
he probes^[a] the deepest recesses
for ore in the gloomy darkness.
⁴ He cuts a shaft far from human habitation,
in places unknown to those who walk above ground.
Suspended far away from people,
the miners swing back and forth.
