New International Version

Job 28:1-4 New International Version (NIV)

1. There is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined.

2. Iron is taken from the earth, and copper is smelted from ore.

3. Mortals put an end to the darkness; they search out the farthest recesses for ore in the blackest darkness.

4. Far from human dwellings they cut a shaft, in places untouched by human feet; far from other people they dangle and sway.
