Job 28:3
World English Bible (WEB)
Man sets an end to darkness, and searches out, to the furthest bound, the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
In context
1 “Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine.
2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted out of the ore.
3 Man sets an end to darkness, and searches out, to the furthest bound, the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
4 He breaks open a shaft away from where people live. They are forgotten by the foot. They hang far from men, they swing back and forth.
5 As for the earth, out of it comes bread. Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
