Iyov 28:1-6 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Surely there is a mine for the kesef, and a makom for zahav where they refine it.

2. Barzel (iron) is taken out of aphar, and nechoshet is smelted out of the even (stone, ore).

3. He setteth a ketz to choshech, and searcheth out all extremities, the even (ore) of darkness and tzalmavet.

4. He cuts out a shaft down far from the inhabitant; forgotten of the regel, they dangle, suspended, away from enosh.

5. As for eretz, out of it cometh lechem, and under it is transformed as by eish.

6. The stones of it are the makom of the sapphire, and it hath ore of zahav.
