job 28:3 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.

job 28:3 "[Man] puts an end to darkness, And to the farthest limit he searches out The rock in gloom and deep shadow.

3. "Man makes an end of darkness," by exploring the darkest depths (with torches).
all perfection--rather, carries out his search to the utmost perfection; most thoroughly searches the stones of darkness and of the shadow of death (thickest gloom); that is, the stones, whatever they be, embedded in the darkest bowels of the earth [UMBREIT] (Job 26:10).

job 28:3 "[Man] puts an end to darkness, And to the farthest limit he searches out The rock in gloom and deep shadow.
