Job 28:1-5 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. There is indeed a mine for silver,and a place for refining gold.

2. Iron is taken from the earth,and copper smelted out of stone.

3. He sets a boundary for the darkness;the farthest confines he explores.

4. He breaks open a shaft far from habitation,unknown to human feet;suspended, far from people, they sway.

5. The earth, though out of it comes forth bread,is in fiery upheaval underneath.
