Job 28:3-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ A miner puts an end to the darkness;
he probes^[a] the deepest recesses
for ore in the gloomy darkness.
⁴ He cuts a shaft far from human habitation,
in places unknown to those who walk above ground.^[b]
Suspended far away from people,
the miners swing back and forth.
⁵ Food may come from the earth,
but below the surface the earth is transformed as by fire.
