Job 28:2-4

Good News Translation

² We dig iron out of the ground
And melt copper out of the stones.
³ Miners explore the deepest darkness.
They search the depths of the earth
And dig for rocks in the darkness.
⁴ Far from where anyone lives
Or human feet ever travel,
They dig the shafts of mines.
There they work in loneliness,
Clinging to ropes in the pits.
