“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell Me, if you know and have understanding.

^{Tools

“Who determined the measurements [of the earth], if you know?
Or who stretched the [measuring] line on it?

^{Tools

“On what were its foundations fastened?
Or who laid its cornerstone,

^{Tools

When the morning stars sang together
And all the sons of God (angels) shouted for joy?

^{Tools

“Or who enclosed the sea with doors
When it burst forth and went out of the womb;

^{Tools
9}

When I made the clouds its garment
And thick darkness its swaddling band,

^{Tools
10}

And marked for it My [appointed] boundary
And set bars and doors [defining the shorelines],^(A)

^{Tools

And said, ‘This far you shall come, but no farther;
And here your proud waves shall stop’?^(B)
