Job 28:3

Job's Discourse On Wisdom

² “Iron is taken from the dust,
And copper is smelted from rock.
³ “Man puts an end to darkness,
And to the farthest limit he searches out
The rock in gloom and deep shadow.
⁴ “He sinks a shaft far from habitation,
Forgotten by the foot;
They hang and swing to and fro far from men.
