³ Man puts an end to darkness,
And searches every recess
For ore in the darkness and the shadow of death.

¹³ Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts
That the peoples labor ^[a]to feed the fire,
And nations weary themselves in vain?

^4 (A)If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;

²² He ^(A)uncovers deep things out of darkness,
And brings the shadow of death to light.

²¹ Before I go to the place from which I shall not return,
^(A)To the land of darkness ^(B)and the shadow of death,
²² A land as dark as darkness itself,
As the shadow of death, without any order,
Where even the light is like darkness.’ ”
