4  “Where were you when I ^ulaid the foundation of the earth?

Tell me, if you have understanding.

5  Who determined its measurements—surely you know!

Or who stretched the line upon it?

6  On what were its bases sunk,

or who laid its cornerstone,

2  for he has ^wfounded it upon ^xthe seas

and established it upon the rivers.

25  ^qOf old you laid the foundation of the earth,

and ^rthe heavens are the work of your hands.

5  He ^xset the earth on its foundations,

so that it should never be moved.
