Job 28:4-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 28
4He 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. 6Its rocks are the source of sapphires, And its dust contains gold. 7No bird of prey knows the path, Nor has the falcon’s eye caught sight of it.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 28
4He 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. 5Food may come from the earth, but below the surface the earth is transformed as by fire. 6Its rocks are a source of lapis lazuli, containing flecks of gold. 7No bird of prey knows that path; no falcon’s eye has seen it.New Living Translation
Chapter 28
4They sink a mine shaft into the earth far from where anyone lives. They descend on ropes, swinging back and forth. 5Food is grown on the earth above, but down below, the earth is melted as by fire. 6Here the rocks contain precious lapis lazuli, and the dust contains gold. 7These are treasures no bird of prey can see, no falcon’s eye observe.English Standard Version
Chapter 28
4He 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. 5As for the earth, out of it comes bread, but underneath it is turned up as by fire. 6Its 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.New International Version
Chapter 28
4Far from human dwellings they cut a shaft, in places untouched by human feet; far from other people they dangle and sway. 5The earth, from which food comes, is transformed below as by fire; 6lapis lazuli comes from its rocks, and its dust contains nuggets of gold. 7No bird of prey knows that hidden path, no falcon’s eye has seen it.New King James Version
