Job 38

4 How did I lay the foundation

for the earth?

Were you there?

5 Doubtless you know who decided

its length and width.

6 What supports the foundation?

Who placed the cornerstone,

7 *Ba 3.34.while morning stars sang,

and angels rejoiced?

8 *Jr 5.22.When the ocean was born,

I set its boundaries

9 and wrapped it in blankets

of thickest fog.

10 Then I built a wall around it,

locked the gates, 11 and said,

"Your powerful waves stop here!

They can go no farther."
