Job 28:1-11

“There are mines where people dig silver and places where gold is made pure. Iron is taken from the ground, and copper is melted out of rocks. Miners bring lights and search deep into the mines for ore in thick darkness. Miners dig a tunnel far from where people live, where no one has ever walked; they work far from people, swinging and swaying from ropes. Food grows on top of the earth, but below ground things are changed as if by fire. Sapphires are found in rocks, and gold dust is also found there. No hawk knows that path; the falcon has not seen it. Proud animals have not walked there, and no lions cross over it. Miners hit the rocks of flint and dig away at the bottom of the mountains. They cut tunnels through the rock and see all the treasures there. They search for places where rivers begin and bring things hidden out into the light.
