Job 28:2

2 Iron is taken from the ground, and copper is smelted from ore.[a]

Job 28:2 In-Context

1 Surely there is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined.
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.
