Job 28:1-6

English Standard Version

28 “Surely there is a mine for silver,
    and a place for gold that they ^(A)refine.
² Iron is taken out of the earth,
    and copper is smelted from the ore.
³ Man puts an end to darkness
    and searches out to the farthest limit
    the ore in ^(B)gloom and ^(C)deep darkness.
⁴ He opens shafts in a valley away from where anyone lives;
    they are forgotten by travelers;
    they hang in the air, far away from mankind; they swing to and fro.
⁵ As for the earth, ^(D)out of it comes bread,
    but underneath it is turned up as by fire.
⁶ Its stones are the place of ^(E)sapphires,^[a]
    and it has dust of gold.
