And to the farthest limit he searches out
The rock in gloom and deep shadow.

And concealed from the birds of the sky.

And meted out the waters by measure,

And a course for the thunderbolt,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:27 - Then He saw it and declared it;
He established it and also searched it out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:28 - “And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
And to depart from evil is understanding.’”
