Job 28:1-3
Modern English Version
Interlude: Where Wisdom Is Found
28 “Surely there is a mine for the silver,
and a place where they refine gold.
2 Iron is taken out of the earth,
and copper is smelted from the ore.
3 Man puts an end to darkness,
and searches every extremity
for ore in the darkness and the shadow of death.
