New International Version (NIV)

5The earth, from which food comes,

is transformed below as by fire;

5“From the earth comes food,

And underneath, it is turned over like fire.

5“[As for] the earth, out of it comes food,

But underneath [its surface, down deep] it is turned over as fire.

5Food may come from the earth,

but from below it is transformed as by fire.

5As for the earth, out of it cometh bread;

And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.

5Out of the same earth commeth bread, and vnder it, as it were fire is turned vp.

5As for the earth, out of it comes bread.

Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.

5Food grows on the surface of the earth.

But far below, the earth is changed as if by fire.

5We grow our food on the earth above.

But deep under the ground,

people use fire to break the rocks.

5The earth! Bread comes forth from it, || And its under-part is turned like fire.
