Job 28:3-5

Good News Translation

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.
⁵ Food grows out of the earth,
But underneath the same earth
All is torn up and crushed.
