2 Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
3 Gird up now your loins like a man; for I will demand of you, and you answer me.
4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if you have understanding.
5 Who has determined the measures thereof, if you know? or who has stretched the line upon it?
6 On what are its foundations fastened? or who laid its cornerstone;
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?
