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

⁴ Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What `is' His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest!

¹⁰ and, `Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;

¹¹ these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,

¹² and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.'

²⁵ Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands `are' the heavens.

²⁶ They -- They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.

¹³ Also, My hand hath founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling unto them, they stand together.

² Covering himself `with' light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,

³ Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,

⁴ Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast known understanding.

⁵ Who placed its measures -- if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched out upon it a line?

⁶ On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone?

⁷ In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons of God shout for joy,

⁸ And He shutteth up with doors the sea, In its coming forth, from the womb it goeth out.

⁹ In My making a cloud its clothing, And thick darkness its swaddling band,

¹⁰ And I measure over it My statute, And place bar and doors,

¹¹ And say, `Hitherto come thou, and add not, And a command is placed On the pride of thy billows.'

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him who is sitting upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven did flee away, and place was not found for them;

²⁶ While He had not made the earth, and out-places, And the top of the dusts of the world.

²⁷ In His preparing the heavens I `am' there, In His decreeing a circle on the face of the deep,

²⁸ In His strengthening clouds above, In His making strong fountains of the deep,

²⁵ To make for the wind a weight, And the waters He meted out in measure.

⁷ By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find out the Mighty One?

⁸ Heights of the heavens! -- what dost thou? Deeper than Sheol! -- what knowest thou?

⁹ Longer than earth `is' its measure, And broader than the sea.
