He created a counterweight for the winds, and he suspended the waters to measure them.
If he restrains the waters, everything will dry up; and if he sends them forth, they will subdue the land.
Do you know when God ordered the rains, so as to show the light of his clouds?
Where were you, when I set the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding.
Who set its measurements, if you know, or who stretched a line over it?
Who enclosed the sea with doors, when it broke forth as if issuing from the womb,
He made the great lights, for his mercy is eternal:
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and who has weighed the heavens with his palm? Who has suspended the mass of the earth with three fingers, and who has weighed the mountains on a balance and the hills on a scale?
