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

⁷ Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,

⁵ He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever.

⁵ for this is unobserved by them willingly, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of water and through water standing together by the word of God,

¹⁶ Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: `Lo, I am laying a foundation in Zion, A stone -- a tried stone, a corner stone precious, a settled foundation, He who is believing doth not make haste.

²² A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner.

¹ Jehovah hath reigned, Excellency He hath put on, Jehovah put on strength, He girded Himself, Also -- established is the world, unmoved.

²⁰ being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner-`stone',

²⁰ `And for the second side of the tabernacle, for the north side, `are' twenty boards,

²¹ and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under another board.

²² And for the sides of the tabernacle westward, thou dost make six boards.

²³ And two boards thou dost make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.

²⁴ And they are pairs beneath, and together they are pairs above its head unto the one ring; so is it for them both, they are for the two corners.

²⁵ And they have been eight boards, and their sockets of silver `are' sixteen sockets, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under another board.

¹² Because our sons `are' as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished -- the likeness of a palace,
