Job 28:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² Iron is taken out of the earth.
    Copper is melted down from ore.
³ Human beings light up the darkness.
    They search for ore in the deepest pits.
    They look for it in the blackest darkness.
⁴ Far from where people live they cut a tunnel.
    They do it in places where other people don’t go.
    Far away from people they swing back and forth on ropes.
