¹² "Isn't God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!

⁸ They are high as heaven. What can you do? Deeper than Sheol: what can you know?

² Don't be rash with your mouth, and don't let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

³ When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, The moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

⁴ What is man, that you think of him? The son of man, that you care for him?

³ But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

¹⁶ The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh; But the earth has he given to the children of men.

¹⁵ For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

¹ Thus says Yahweh, heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what manner of house will you build to me? and what place shall be my rest?
