He settethH7760 an endH7093 to darknessH2822, and searcheth outH2713 all perfectionH8503: the stonesH68 of darknessH652, and the shadow of deathH6757.
The floodH5158 breaketh outH6555 from the inhabitantH1481; even the waters forgottenH7911 of the footH7272: they are dried upH1809, they are gone awayH5128 from menH582.
As for the earthH776, out of it comethH3318 breadH3899: and under it is turned upH2015 as it were fireH784.

He putteth forthH7971 his handH3027 upon the rockH2496; he overturnethH2015 the mountainsH2022 by the rootsH8328. {rock: or, flint}

He bindethH2280 the floodsH5104 from overflowingH1065; and the thing that is hidH8587 bringeth he forthH3318 to lightH216. {overflowing: Heb. weeping}
But whereH370 shall wisdomH2451 be foundH4672? and where is the placeH4725 of understandingH998?

The depthH8415 saithH559, It is not in me: and the seaH3220 saithH559, It is not with me.

It cannot be valuedH5541 with the goldH3800 of OphirH211, with the preciousH3368 onyxH7718, or the sapphireH5601.

DestructionH11 and deathH4194 sayH559, We have heardH8085 the fameH8088 thereof with our earsH241.
GodH430 understandethH995 the wayH1870 thereof, and he knowethH3045 the placeH4725 thereof.
For he lookethH5027 to the endsH7098 of the earthH776, and seethH7200 under the whole heavenH8064;
To makeH6213 the weightH4948 for the windsH7307; and he weighethH8505 the watersH4325 by measureH4060.

Then did he seeH7200 it, and declareH5608 it; he preparedH3559 it, yea, and searched it outH2713. {declare…: or, number it}
And unto manH120 he saidH559, Behold, the fearH3374 of the LordH136, that is wisdomH2451; and to departH5493 from evilH7451 is understandingH998.
