4. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Cause me to know, if thou hast understanding.
5. Who ordered its dimensions, if thou knowest? Or who has stretched the line upon it?
6. Upon what are its foundations founded? Or who laid its corner stone;
7. when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8. Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9. When I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness a swaddling band for it,
10. and established my decree upon it, and set bars and doors,
11. and said, Thou shalt come unto here, but no further; and there shall the pride of thy waves be stayed.
12. Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days? Hast thou shown the dayspring its place,
13. that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14. It is transformed as clay to the seal and then stands as a garment;
15. but the light of the wicked is taken from them, and the high arm is broken.
16. Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked searching out the deep?
