Job 28:2-10
New International Version
2 Iron is taken from the earth,
and copper is smelted from ore.(A)
3 Mortals put an end to the darkness;(B)
they search out the farthest recesses
for ore in the blackest darkness.(C)
4 Far from human dwellings they cut a shaft,(D)
in places untouched by human feet;
far from other people they dangle and sway.
5 The earth, from which food comes,(E)
is transformed below as by fire;
6 lapis lazuli(F) comes from its rocks,
and its dust contains nuggets of gold.(G)
7 No bird of prey knows that hidden path,
no falcon’s eye has seen it.(H)
8 Proud beasts(I) do not set foot on it,
and no lion prowls there.(J)
9 People assault the flinty rock(K) with their hands
and lay bare the roots of the mountains.(L)
10 They tunnel through the rock;(M)
their eyes see all its treasures.(N)
