⁵ Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it?

¹² Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

⁹ The measure thereof is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea.

¹⁶ so as to preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you, `and' not to glory in another's province in regard of things ready to our hand.

¹ And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

² Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

²² `It is' he that sitteth above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;

¹¹ But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it; and the owl and the raven shall dwell therein: and he will stretch over it the line of confusion, and the plummet of emptiness.

²⁹ When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;

²⁷ When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,

⁵⁵ He drove out the nations also before them, And allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁴ Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

²⁵ To make a weight for the wind: Yea, he meteth out the waters by measure.
