4WhereH375 were you 1when I laidH3245 the foundationH3245 of the earthH776? TellH5046 Me, ifH518 you 2haveH3045 understandingH998,5WhoH4310 setH7760 its 3measurementsH4461? SinceH3588 you knowH3045. OrH176 whoH4310 stretchedH5186 the lineH6957 on it?6On whatH4100 4were its basesH134 sunkH2883? OrH176 whoH4310 laidH3384 its cornerstoneH68H6438,7When the morningH1242 starsH3556 sangH7442 togetherH3162 And allH3605 the 5sonsH1121 of GodH430 shoutedH7321 for joyH7321?
8“Or who 6enclosedH5480 the seaH3220 with doorsH1817 When, burstingH1518 forthH1518, it wentH3318 out from the wombH7358;9When I madeH7760 a cloudH6051 its garmentH3830 And thickH6205 darknessH6205 its swaddlingH2854 bandH2854,10And I 78placedH7665 boundariesH2706 on it And setH7760 a boltH1280 and doorsH1817,11And I saidH559, ‘ThusH6311 farH5704 you shall comeH935, but noH3808 fartherH3254; And hereH6311 shall your proudH1347 wavesH1530 stopH7896’?
