Job 28:1-11

Job 28:1-11 CSB

Surely there is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined. Iron is taken from the ground, and copper is smelted from ore. A miner puts an end to the darkness; he probes  the deepest recesses for ore in the gloomy darkness. He cuts a shaft far from human habitation, in places unknown to those who walk above ground. Suspended far away from people, the miners swing back and forth. Food may come from the earth, but below the surface the earth is transformed as by fire. Its rocks are a source of lapis lazuli,  containing flecks of gold. No bird of prey knows that path; no falcon’s eye has seen it. Proud beasts have never walked on it; no lion has ever prowled over it. The miner uses a flint tool and turns up ore from the root of the mountains. He cuts out channels in the rocks, and his eyes spot every treasure. He dams up the streams from flowing  so that he may bring to light what is hidden.
