3. Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and answer thou me.
4. Where wast thou when I laid up the foundations of the earth? tell me if thou hast understanding.
5. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6. Upon what are its bases grounded? or who laid the corner stone thereof,
7. When the morning stars praised me together, and all the sons of God made a joyful melody?
8. Who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth as issuing out of the womb:
9. when I made a cloud the garment thereof, and wrapped it in a mist as in swaddling bands?
10. I set my bounds around it, and made it bars and doors:
11. And I said: Hitherto thou shalt come, and shalt go no further, and here thou shalt break thy swelling waves.
