Job 28:3-5

Common English Bible

³ Humans^[a] put an end to darkness,
    dig for ore to the farthest depths,
        into stone in utter darkness,
⁴     open a shaft away from any inhabitant,
        places forgotten by those on foot,
        apart from any human they hang and sway.
⁵ Earth—from it comes food—
    is turned over below ground as by fire.^[b]
