Job 28:2-4

The Voice

²     There iron is dug from the earth,
        and copper is smelted from ore.
³     Humans put an end to darkness,
        and search in every last corner
    For the ore that is in gloom and darkness.
⁴     In the earth they cut a shaft
        in a place forgotten, far from the beaten path;
    They descend on ropes,
        swinging dangerously back and forth.
