Job 28:2-4
Amplified Bible
2
“Iron is taken out of the earth,
And copper is smelted from the stone ore.
3
“Man puts an end to darkness [by bringing in a light],
And to the farthest bounds he searches out
The rock buried in gloom and deep shadow.
4
“He breaks open (mine) shafts far away from where people live,
[In places] forgotten by the [human] foot;
They dangle [in the mines] and hang away from men.
Job 28:2-4
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.
