When God gave power to the wind and measured the water,
If God holds back the waters, there is no rain; if he lets the waters go, they flood the land.
Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash?
Where were you when I made the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand.
Who marked off how big it should be? Surely you know! Who stretched a ruler across it?
“Who shut the doors to keep the sea in when it broke through and was born,
He brings the clouds from the ends of the earth. He sends the lightning with the rain. He brings out the wind from his storehouses.
Who has measured the oceans in the palm of his hand? Who has used his hand to measure the sky? Who has used a bowl to measure all the dust of the earth and scales to weigh the mountains and hills?
