Job 38:4-11
4 “Where were you when I alaid the foundation of the earth?Tell me, if you have understanding.
5Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone,
7when the morning stars bsang together
and all cthe sons of God dshouted for joy?
8 “Or who eshut in the sea with doors
when it burst out from the womb,
9when I made clouds its garment
and fthick darkness its swaddling band,
10and prescribed glimits for it
and set bars and doors,
11and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
and here shall your hproud waves be stayed’?
Proverbs 8:25-29
25Before the mountains ihad been shaped,jbefore the hills, I was brought forth,
26before he had made the earth with its fields,
or the first of the dust of the world.
27When he kestablished the heavens, I was there;
when he drew la circle on the face of the deep,
28when he mmade firm the skies above,
when he established ▼
▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain
the fountains of the deep,29when he oassigned to the sea its plimit,
so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out qthe foundations of the earth,
