Job 28:2-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 28
2
Iron is taken from the dust,
And copper is smelted from rock.
3
Man
puts an end to darkness,
And to the farthest limit he searches out
The rock in gloom and deep shadow.
4
He sinks a shaft away from inhabited areas,
Forgotten by the foot;
They hang
and
swing, away from people.
5
From the earth comes food,
And underneath, it is turned over like fire.
6
Its rocks are the source of sapphires,
And its dust
contains
gold.
7
No bird of prey knows the path,
Nor has the falcon’s eye caught sight of it.
8
The proud animals have not trodden it,
Nor has the lion passed over it.
9
He puts his hand on the flint;
He overturns the mountains at the base.
10
He carves out channels through the rocks,
And his eye sees anything precious.
11
He dams up the streams from flowing,
And brings to light what is hidden.
12
'But where can wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
13
Mankind does not know its value,
Nor is it found in the land of the living.
14
The ocean depth says, ‘It is not in me’;
And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
King James Version
Chapter 28
2
Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
3
He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
4
The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
5
As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
6
The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
7
There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:
8
The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
9
He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
10
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
11
He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
12
But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
13
Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14
The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 28
2
Iron is taken from the ground,
and copper is smelted from ore.
3
A miner puts an end to the darkness;
he probes the deepest recesses
for ore in the gloomy darkness.
4
He cuts a shaft far from human habitation,
in places unknown to those who walk above ground.
Suspended far away from people,
the miners swing back and forth.
5
Food may come from the earth,
but below the surface the earth is transformed as by fire.
6
Its rocks are a source of lapis lazuli,
containing flecks of gold.
7
No bird of prey knows that path;
no falcon’s eye has seen it.
8
Proud beasts have never walked on it;
no lion has ever prowled over it.
9
The miner uses a flint tool
and turns up ore from the root of the mountains.
10
He cuts out channels in the rocks,
and his eyes spot every treasure.
11
He dams up the streams from flowing
so that he may bring to light what is hidden.
12
But where can wisdom be found,
and where is understanding located?
13
No one can know its value,
since it cannot be found in the land of the living.
14
The ocean depths say, "It’s not in me,"
while the sea declares, "I don’t have it."
New Living Translation
Chapter 28
2
They know where to dig iron from the earth
and how to smelt copper from rock.
3
They know how to shine light in the darkness
and explore the farthest regions of the earth
as they search in the dark for ore.
4
They sink a mine shaft into the earth
far from where anyone lives.
They descend on ropes, swinging back and forth.
5
Food is grown on the earth above,
but down below, the earth is melted as by fire.
6
Here the rocks contain precious lapis lazuli,
and the dust contains gold.
7
These are treasures no bird of prey can see,
no falcon’s eye observe.
8
No wild animal has walked upon these treasures;
no lion has ever set his paw there.
9
People know how to tear apart flinty rocks
and overturn the roots of mountains.
10
They cut tunnels in the rocks
and uncover precious stones.
11
They dam up the trickling streams
and bring to light the hidden treasures.
12
'But do people know where to find wisdom?
Where can they find understanding?
13
No one knows where to find it,
for it is not found among the living.
14
‘It is not here,’ says the ocean.
‘Nor is it here,’ says the sea.
English Standard Version
Chapter 28
2
Iron is taken out of the earth,
and copper is smelted from the ore.
3
Man puts an end to darkness
and searches out to the farthest limit
the ore in gloom and deep darkness.
4
He opens shafts in a valley away from where anyone lives;
they are forgotten by travelers;
they hang in the air, far away from mankind; they swing to and fro.
5
As for the earth, out of it comes bread,
but underneath it is turned up as by fire.
6
Its stones are the place of sapphires,
and it has dust of gold.
7
"That path no bird of prey knows,
and the falcon 's eye has not seen it.
8
The proud beasts have not trodden it;
the lion has not passed over it.
9
"Man puts his hand to the flinty rock
and overturns mountains by the roots.
10
He cuts out channels in the rocks,
and his eye sees every precious thing.
11
He dams up the streams so that they do not trickle,
and the thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
12
"But where shall wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
13
Man does not know its worth,
and it is not found in the land of the living.
14
The deep says, ‘It is not in me,’
and the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
New International Version
Chapter 28
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.
5
The earth, from which food comes,
is transformed below as by fire;
6
lapis lazuli comes from its rocks,
and its dust contains nuggets of gold.
7
No bird of prey knows that hidden path,
no falcon’s eye has seen it.
8
Proud beasts do not set foot on it,
and no lion prowls there.
9
People assault the flinty rock with their hands
and lay bare the roots of the mountains.
10
They tunnel through the rock;
their eyes see all its treasures.
11
They search the sources of the rivers
and bring hidden things to light.
12
But where can wisdom be found?
Where does understanding dwell?
13
No mortal comprehends its worth;
it cannot be found in the land of the living.
14
The deep says, "It is not in me";
the sea says, "It is not with me."
New King James Version
Chapter 28
2
Iron is taken from the earth,
And copper
is
smelted
from
ore.
3
Man
puts an end to darkness,
And searches every recess
For ore in the darkness and the shadow of death.
4
He breaks open a shaft away from people;
In places
forgotten by feet
They hang far away from men;
They swing to and fro.
5
As for
the earth, from it comes bread,
But underneath it is turned up as by fire;
6
Its stones
are
the source of sapphires,
And it contains gold dust.
7
That
path no bird knows,
Nor has the falcon’s eye seen it.
8
The proud lions have not trodden it,
Nor has the fierce lion passed over it.
9
He puts his hand on the flint;
He overturns the mountains at the roots.
10
He cuts out channels in the rocks,
And his eye sees every precious thing.
11
He dams up the streams from trickling;
What is
hidden he brings forth to light.
12
“But where can wisdom be found?
And where
is
the place of understanding?
13
Man does not know its value,
Nor is it found in the land of the living.
14
The deep says,
‘It is
not in me’;
And the sea says,
‘It is
not with me.’
