2 Iron is taken out of the ground.
And copper is melted out of rocks.
3 Miners bring light into the mines.
They search even the deepest parts of the mines.
They look for metal in places of thick darkness.

They dig it where people never go.
They work far away from people, swinging and swaying from ropes.
